Does anyone know the best place to buy parts for model cars? 1:18 scale. Been looking on eBay but there doesn't seem to be much choice for wheels & exhausts etc. I couldn't resist buying one of the damaged model Zeds that were on eBay last night so looking to take it apart & modify it a bit seeing how it's already damaged, might even respray it if I've got the time.

Haha, good idea mate, might be the wrong scale though.

I very nearly bought that Tom! Ummed and arred then decided I couldn't really afford it lol :(

 

I have actually just resprayed my 1:24 in midnight purple, so watch this space for a complete picture when it's all built up!

I'd be very interested to see that Baz. I wasn't sure whether to buy it or not but thought the price was good & might spray it white to match my zed. Was looking at the red one too but already got one in red.

Ask Mark Derby , he used to run a model shop so may be able to guide you

Thanks mate, hopefully he can help me out.

he did rc cars only

 

I might be selling all my 1:18 soon and go for 1:43 instead?

Just got this in the post, damage is no where near as bad as I thought. Gonna start stripping it down for paint.

Buy a cheap 1/18 scale car with the sort of parts your looking for and then just swap them over.

That's a good idea, will have a look see what's for sale. Just stripping it down now, don't know what colour to go for. I've got loads of black paint but might go white to match my zed.
