There is nothing wrong with that sentence.

This thread is slowly dying a terrible death.

To lower the model you must simply ruin its axels, cut them off and glue the wheels in the chassis. It's not rollable anymore after this is done so I do not recommend doing it if you do not have a lot of spare UT's as I have.

The F1 roadcar looks cool, but the GTR LT is completely wrong in stance.

The decals I used was made by a friend of mine who I've lost contact with over the last years and I've been checking out some decals at Ebay, but they’re not even close to the quality my friend used to make.

I'm currently into modding Ferrari's so my Macs. has been sleeping lately:-)

ill bring the thread back to its topic, sort of...at least a mclaren topic anyways... thorst, thanks for the info, but what about the front wheels? what do you do about the front suspension arms? cut them and re-glue them or what? as for pointing out pelotons' mistakes, his arent that bad or even noticable... you could dedicate an entire forum to pointing out the mistakes i make in my posts

Content deleted as HLJ don't seem to appreciate people linking to their stuff - even when it might lead to a sale... idiots...

are all available from Hobbylink Japan in 1/18 and 1/43 scales. They also have a few of the Studio27 kits. Service is great and prices are usually reasonable.

The '3rd version' of the LARK decals with the race #60 is for the short tailed GTR.

Just use the scanned pics posted in this thread, blow them up in size accordingly and print it out on decal paper.

Edit: FortuneF1 - can you edit your post above where you quoted my post and remove the links to the HLJ images? The real images are now gone from their site and I need to see them again.

Not sure why he would need to remove the links. In fact, because they are there, you can Right-Click on them and select "Properties" and get the URL for the real image. Then paste that URL into the address bar of a new browser window and you will be able to see/save the actual images.

If you go straight to HLJ's site the images are still wrong - they've replaced the actual images with the "this image stolen from" nonsense. It looks really stupid when you are seeing it on their own site but they must have problems with competitors or ebayers or something...
As for right-clicking and getting the "url for the real image" trust me - I know what I'm doing when it comes to web sites and images!

Not from my PC - are you sure you don't just have those "stolen images" cached in your browser? The real images look just fine on their site to me.

I always try to give the most basic explanations as you never know who you're dealing with on the web.

The images have come and gone over the last few days - and, yes, I've re-loaded, cleared cache, even tried from different browsers! Weird, huh?
