building plastic kits since 1960's. 90% car models, also motorcycles, trucks & plant. all scales. also collect and modify 1/43rd diecast cars of Le mans, F1, Rally and road cars. and 1/76 & 1/87 Matchbox, Oxford, Classix models, last count I have 1,570 models. also build custom models for a few customers.
I also have some 1/35th military models, Krup Leopald gun on rail carriage, Vw's type 825 pick-up,kubelwagen, type 82 kommander (beetle 4x4 with sunroof) willys jeep, Harley WLA (2 of) Indian 741B (2 of 1 ww2 1 civilian- my late uncles own ex military 741B).
I built some bizzare 1/32-1/25th vw beetles using airfix 1/32 and 1/25th AMT drag beetles, cut them in half and then blended front and rear halfs together to make tapering standard saloon and wild drag beetle which were on display at SMW 2013 on NSMS stand (the shed) more recently completed KFS Volvo F89 6x4 with modified AMT lowboy trailer and Caterpillar D8H load secured with KFS superb chain stretchers, both the F89 & D8 have full detailed engines and cab tilts on Volvo.
An older built model of my own HD FXR using a 1/12th Imai/Imex Road King kit using FX front forks, soft tail exhaust pipes cut down frame and many altered parts, to this day, no one has made an FXR model of any scale (to my knowledge) if anyone knows different...
All my Ixo, Onyx, Atlas,Metro,Solido, etc 1/43rd models of Le mans, F1, Rally have full detailing of interiors, seat belts, dash boards, roll cages etc + tow eyes, fuel fillers, spot lamps & any other missing details are added, so they look as good as premium Spark models sharing the cabinet
