model car kits

A model car is a miniature representation, or scale model, of an automobile or similar powered vehicle, generally reproducing the shapes of actually-produced vehicles. Other miniature ground-running vehicles, such as trucks, buses, etc. (but not railroad trains or tracked military vehicles) are usually included in the general category of model cars. The line between model and toy cars is not well-defined; some toys can be scaled and detailed well enough to be considered models also. Miniature cars which are poorly proportioned or lack significant detail are usually considered to be pure toys rather than models.....

100% Q: Does anyone know where I can find skill level 3 to 5 on model car kits?

I am trying to find model car kits from a skill level of 3 to 5. I have looked online. The only thing I am finding is up to a skill level 2. Also if someone could find me a site where I could buy a model car kit for a chevy camaro 1984 that would be great. It is for a birthday present. Thank you for any answers that will help.

100% Q: Do all plastic model car kits need to be painted?

I am looking to buying a model car kit for the first time and know nothing about them. So if i buy one, will it already be painted or will i have to paint it?

A:MOST model car kits (99%) come with the plastic parts molded in the approximate colors... so you don't NEED to paint it. HOWEVER, to make it look truly realistic, you WILL want to paint it. I suggest that before you buy your KIT, you go to your local model-hobby store and buy a "beginners" book on model car construction and painting. The book will walk you through the tools, equipment and techniques to apply a successful paint-job as well as build the model effeciently. GOOD LUCK and ENJOY your new Hobby

100% Q: My father and I are looking for websites where you can buy metal body model car kits, do you know of any?

I really need help with this, I have looked and everything we want is either already assembled or made of plastic. The website has to have cars from the very beginning to the latest, of all kinds. We are really looking for cars from the 1904-1980's. It doesn't really matter, I just need these websites for a hobby to do with my father. Please help and list the best that you know of. Thanks again.

A:please rayrocks if you dont have anything positive to say to this question then dont ,,,it is apparent that is what they want to do ,,i build models myself and find it a relaxing and rewarding hobby...so im sure they would rather bury their face in instructions rather then a book!!!!
