Hooray There Here!! Oh No...

My kits that I won on Ebay came today...
Porsche 959 Mint cond. in box, parts unopened...
Yes certainly was in fantastic condition will be fun to build!!
Ferrari F40 parts opened all appear to be there but no instructions...
Instructions no worries got those(thanks Jose), all parts appear to be there... errrm no there not, one side window is missing hmm not too much of a problem could make one from a pastic pop bottle!!
But here is the real problem there is no tyres!!

So does anyone have any suggestions as I don't have any tyres lying about!
Or does anyone have a set that'll fit that they would let me have/sell me?

As far as i know the F40 is still in production so you could call the Hobby Company - Tamiya's UK distributer (details on tamiya website) and enquire about a new set. You will probably have to pay for them though! About a fiver.

Anything to help an (almost) ex-neighbour. Lived down in 'Sunny Diggers' for a few years off and on.

You think of any other bits you may need or if you damage anything, just let me know.

Glad to help.

Was a blue job in a past life dude, left to come and work over here in the cold north. Haven't been into modelling for a few years but these winters are too much much for an English lad so staying in with a pot of glue and some paint seems like a real good idea nowadays!!!!

Not sure what a 'Blue Job' is do you mean RAF or RLC or the RS?
So were you at Digby? if so recently?

That's fine mate, no worries!
I'm not in desperate need at the moment as I've still got the FH-16 to build(about 60% complete) and after that the Porsche 959 and a Efini RX-7, oh and not forgetting the McLaren MP4/13!!
