I need to dull coat over a redline decal placed on the tire(to shiny). What is the best for this. Somthing like Testors dull coat (hot) or something water based. Thanks

Yeah, I need to learn how to do that. It is on my " to do " list as well as about 100 other things. LoL

I bought a Fruehauf flatbed trailer off of the 'bay a while back. I just opened it up today and found out it was a original kit from the '70s and has no decals what-so-ever. Anyone know who might sell aftermarket decals that would work? Your help is greatly appreciated. David

No matter smart or dumb the owner is, nothing justifies taking another persons property, period. That is why they call theft a crime.

How could it be any different? If you made the part, it is scratch-built. If a model company or resin caster made it and you used it / modified it to fit your model it would be kit bashing. Just because I opened a cake mix or defrosted pre-made rolls doesn't mean from scratch. The cheesecake I spent 3-4 hours on that started out as just 2 & 1/2 lbs of cream cheese and a few other items, now that was made from scratch. BTW, it was delicious.

Oh it is obtainable, you just have to come up with $125 + shipping from Japan. I have the ever rare Indian Scout by them. I paid way too much, but it was on my " must have list " and was worth living like a pauper for a month. IMO anyway.

talk about being a week behind and a benjamin short. ... I thought I had a bright idea and purchased 1mm x 3mm magnets, about two weeks ago, to keep the doors, trunk and hood shut when I modify them on future builds. I was/ am still figuring out, in my head, the best way to go about it... Guess I will just pick up the issue and save myself some brain cells. I just subscribed to MCM today. I hope my subscription starts there, if not, I will have to order the back issue. On the bright side, I purchased 126 magnets for $ 15.08, shipping included so I will be ready one of these days.

I have the same problem, a warped / bent A pillar on a tamiya skyline kit. What do you think about using steam from a tea pot to help in back into shape? It took a little squishing on its way here from Hong Kong a few years back.

That first one in primer made me LOL! Too darn funny. I don't know what to say about the Jeep. I love them but think the owner went a little off the deep end.

I did a search on Ice Cream on the 'bay. His product was the only one that came up for what I was looking for. Just the old time one that used to go through my G-mas neighborhood. Do a search for Ice Cream, If nothing shows up on the current, do a search for completed listings. Still come up empty??.. do a search for resin in the model car automotive section and look at them one by one. His other offerings may be better than the ' kit ' I received.

It is a loooong way from " Corvette Summer". Maybe Corvette Autumn?

great idea and execution, love it!

I talked to a friend and he said my ice cream truck could be built with no damaged. The rear of the body is twisted where there is a 1 1/2 to 2 1/4 inch difference between the right and left side. I looked over their replies and it seems the seller, Curt, talks like yoda from star wars. They may do a fine job with truck cabs but I wouldn't recommend this kit, ice cream truck, unless it was a last resort. The only decent part of it was the freezer box. The molds for the body, grill and interior tub need a lot more work, IMO. I'm glad this wasn't my first resin purchase.. if it was, it might have turned me off of resin forever. Just my 2 cents... As always, your opinions/results may vary, .

Please, how about a good cast of an Ice Cream truck. The one I purchased is lacking in many many areas.

i purchased an Ice Cream truck from them. The grill didn't fit, front fenders were warped and large gaps everywhere. I sent it back and got another one even worse. There is a 3/4 to 1 1/4 inch difference between the back fenders that mount to the ice cream freezer. Any way to fix this or should I just try and get my $ back?
