Add anything appropriate with a written definition.. I'll start by adding a few off the top of my head..
FLASH - Excess/unwanted plastic that is attached to parts/trees.
ORANGE PEEL - Paint condition where the surface resembles the skin of an orange.
LHS - acronym for Local Hobby Shop.
CURBSIDE - Model kit that has no engine detail besides what is shown on the underside/chassis.
IMO - acronym for In My Opinion.
FYI - acronym for For Your Information.
Go ahead and add or even add to/correct what I've/others will add! |
Curbside is as a car is seen on the "curb". As such there is not a requirement for any underside detail. An example are most 1/43 kits which have a flat chassis plate on the bottom and nothing but a tail pipe extension out the back. All doors, hood, trunk etc.. closed.
as soon as you open a door etc.. it is no longer curbside even if there is no engine.
