I might be able to help there ^ i store my paint upside down so all the paint dont seddle to the bottom of the jar and when it dose i take the lid off and scrape it off with ease instead of trying to mix it back in with the paint .

Stopped by my LHS and they actually had some good stuff in stock.

 

 

The wheels for the 32 look  a bit smaller tho.. More like 15"s  at best.

I don't usually buy anything this modern, but it was going for a good price, and at the end of the day, it's still a 911

Union/Heller Porsche 917K kit with the Martini livery.  I've been after one of these for a while, and lucked out on a complete one with a couple of badly painted parts.  Got it for $20 plus shipping.  Not too shabby.

Peter, those Aztec pearls are new. They are pre-thinned for airbrushing, have good pigment, and lay on very smooth. They dry to a satin finish you you have to clear it. Here's one of my first efforts using them. I bought mine directly from Testor's. 

 

[crazyjim]

Nice color and SHINY .  What clear do you use?

[peter31a]

Thanks, Glenn, I appreciate the info. Your first test sure makes them look good. I'll keep an eye out for these.

[LAone]

Nice color. Did you have to use a base color befor shooting the pearl?

[Draggon]

Guys, Testors has both gloss and matte clears in the Aztec line, I used their gloss. Dried very hard. I polished it up with Ultra Restore, no wet sanding needed. No base coat is needed.  A really great thing is that if you have a fubar, you can just re-coat the area and it blends just like the 1:1 waterborne auto paint. The Merc was primed using Plastikote, but I have found that it really likes bare plastic. If I can find any flaw, its that the pearl colors tend to ding a bit before they're cleared, but I  would think if the paint was "set" with a hair dryer one might not have that reaction. I'm going to try polishing some primer to see if the paint sticks to that as well as bare plastic. The total painting time on the Merc was 15  minutes, in a dirty and unheated garage with no paint booth, clean up time included. They make 40 colors, including transparent, opaque, and flourescent. Forgot to post the link, and the pic is of "ultra restore" from innovative hobby supply.

New Toy, will come in handy once I finish the bodywork on the 1:1 toy, picked up a can of Epoxy primer also, didn't figure it was photo worthy.

A sealed 1965 Hemi Under Glass kit, only to find out it DOESN'T have Hurst wheels in it

 

Thankfully my parts box did.

[prostockmania]

Got these today, 69 impala as a rebuiler, Ventura to use for a slot car, but Is in need of help, and the maverick I think is a resin.
