I have three 1/32 scale, easy-build, car kits that I want to have custom built. Unfortunately, I am not a very skilled model builder. I am looking for someone who, for a fee, would build and customize the three models for me. These are Testor Rad Rides 1/32 scale Saleen S281s. They are to be built to match actual cars that belong to members of a club I am a part of. I can provide as much detail as you like, just let me know any questions you may have.
Thanks!

Welcome on the forum. Which kind of custom work are you looking? Different color paint? I ask you this, because it is kind of difficult find parts for the 1/32 scale. The common scale is 1/24-5. Let me know.

Thanks for the welcome brizio!
The models do not need any parts added. These models appear pretty basic and have few parts...hoods don't even open. What would be needed is...1) Custom paint to match the Ford factory color. One will be black, one red, and one a dark metallic grey called "alloy". 2) On two of the cars, I would like to have the windows "tinted" to varied degrees. 3) The model has a wing that sits on the trunk and is secured with two small pins molded into the wing that sit in holes molded into the trunk. That works just fine for one car, but the other two subject cars are without the wing. The wing on the model can simply be left off but the mounting holes in the trunk would need to be filled. 4) The model hood has two air exchange vents molded into the top. Again, this works just fine for one car. However, two of the subject cars don't have the vents. I think the vents molded into the hood could be sanded and/or filled in some way to hide them...although I am not certain. I need an expert. 5) All of the provided decals are perfect, however each subject car is individually numbered on the bumper and these are not included in the sticker kit. I would need two or three (depending on the subject car) tiny numbers placed on the bumper of each model. I imagine the numbers would have to be hand-painted. Although, someone might be able to find appropriate decals. Honestly, I want the numbers there on the model but I have to imagine to be to scale they will be so small they will be more like small shapes placed in the correct spot than legible numbers.
Hmmm, I think that's it. I hope that all makes sense.

Yes, that's correct.
