have i this thread posted up in the right place,or is there anyway of moving it without having to re-write the whole thing? seems awfully quite around here at the moment anyway...... |
RE: FG BEETLE PRO REBUILD THREAD(my style)
Nope, you posted in the right place, the Giant Scale forums are a bit quieter than the rest of the forums, mostly because not many people can afford large scale vehicles.

They doesn`t seem to work here :( Strange, they should work fine I think.
So how is your Beetle running? I am expecting my Oneill Brother kit very soon :) I might have to ask you a few questions later on when Im putting it all together. |
