I Need Larger Sheets Of Plastruct
Bill Eh? replied to oldcarfan's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I keep a copy of the Evergreen catalogue on my laptop. It is still listed. The product code for the 12" x 24" sheets is 14109. -
Is Super Shop Real?
Bill Eh? replied to oldcarfan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
See the topic "under to good to be true, hobby time model kits" -
Although it looks the same, it is not a Gaahleri airbrush. It is a DragonAir Model DA04 Airbrush 0.5mm trigger action. I'm not sure if this is a private branded product for SMS. I bought two of the Gaahleri trigger style airbrushes, a GHAD-68 and a Swallowtail. I really like them both. If you go with a Gaahleri, the Swallowtail would be my recommendation.

Atlantis Models has bought another lot of tooling/molds.....
Bill Eh? replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Thanks for sharing that new-to-me information. You're right about the new illustration styling being uninspiring. In spite of that, I still purchased the Mooneyes and Yellow Fever kits. -

Bill Eh? replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Curious, how would Atlantis have access to Revell copyright artwork? -
This past Sunday, the Group 25 Model Car Club had its Spring contest run in an NNL format. One of my favourite vendors from London was there and of course he had a kit which caught my eye. The final Tamiya racing iteration of the Nissan GT-R34 (Xanavi NISMO). These kits are becoming very rare. A good friend has a line on a set of decals so that I can build it as the Calsonic version.

If you can possibly find a disposable clear plastic spoon. You might be able to modify it so as to come close to matching the curvature of the Badman hood scoop. Another option is to find the fairly recent reissue of the Monogram '55 Chevy Bel Air Street Machine 2' n 1. It has all of the Badman parts, although the clear parts are clear, not clear red.

I understand the logic behind the lip that Tamiya includes on the back-edge of their one piece wheels. The appearance to me is overly thick. The wheel on the right is original and the wheel on the left has been sanded down to eliminate the lip. Here are all four wheels with the lips removed. I really appreciate the detail and appearance of Tamiya tires right out of the box. The material Tamiya uses has a realistic "rubber-like" appearance. And of course the Pirelli detail is a bonus. This is an older boxing, so I'm not sure if this is still the case with more recent issues.

Ist time using 2k clear
Bill Eh? replied to Mike 1017's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I have the same Splash 2 part clear as well. The bottle of the clear itself, I believe is twice the size of the catalyst. Since it is Splash's product, then yes it is three parts clear to one part catalyst. Make the mixture first and then thin to a good consistency for airbrushing. Wise words from Mark indeed. Use good ventilation and wear a respirator mask if you have one. -
Ist time using 2k clear
Bill Eh? replied to Mike 1017's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Usually that would be the interpretation. I have never heard of a product which uses that in reverse, 3 parts catalyst to 1 part clear. Does this clear seller have a website. I believe in double checking things first. LOL -
