    Food coloring works well with it. Remember if you don't like it comes off with ammonia which is safe on everything except Tamiya Acrylics. I have learned to wipe not brush it on.

    try looking up some conversion charts and find something that. Mr Hobby paints are hard to find in the US.

    Once distribution happens there will be bottled lacquers from Tamiya. They will be LP-XXX numbers. Mixing Tamiya X-18 with their thinner X-20 makes a good wash for all paints. If you do use Panel Accent and get too much, wipe the brush dry and put it back in pane line and it will draw the excess back out. The Citadel stuff is good if you can find it.

    they are dry transfers like Tamiya's. Stick them then wet the paper to remove it.

    You need to use a larger nozzle like a .35mm or .50 mm

    Plastruct is harder to find but is a better quality than Evergreen. It bends more without cracking.

    Use Lacquer Thinner instead.

    Hey watch this video on building a 250 replica. 250 GTO

    Great work and technique JC. I have found Plastruct better for bending, it does not beak as easily as Evergreen. Pinning really ads strength I use .020 " diameter brass wire from K&S

    The interior was done in Scale Motor Sports carbon. I think it was 41 separate pieces, templates made by tape.

    The older cars did just have the rubber seal which can be done by marker. The newer cars have blacked out areas on the window it self. They can be very wide on some cars like this Ford Fiesta WRC. Masking and painting are best for this and an air brush is the best for this.

    Great work so far. I built the racing longtail version. Make sure the base of the window cowling does not affect ride height. It took allot of work to get it setting right.

    Nothing beats masking and airbrushing. It can be time consuming though.

    I do nt have pics but I tested them and found them to be the best acrylics I have ever used

    Brass is better for small diameter or size parts. It will give a little without breaking part. I pin allot , it gives strength and makes assembly easier.

    NUNU kit. This kit has some really odd molding defects and flash for a new kit. I got the detail up set that has all the carbon decal for the chassis and photo-etch. I wrapped the fuel tubes in solder an painted to replicate the actual car.

    Spray right into jar by regulating trigger pressure and holding jar at an angle.

    Tke a look at Tru-Color paints. Their metallics are great and very durable. the trailing arms on this Porsche 934 are done in their aluminum. The brake disk is galvanized steel.

    Krylon Fusion is known to attack styrene. It was made for plastics like lawn furniture etc.

    Try this epoxy in bottles. It's 9.99 at Hobby Lobby. With the 40% coupon about $6. The bottles are less messy, last longer and can be dispensed easier to exact mounts.

    Another option is to spray it silver then a coat of Tamiya Acrylic X-18. After drying use a Q-tip dampened with ammonia to to remove the black from where you want it to be silver. Ammonia removes Tamiya Acrylics but does nothing to other paints.

    since you are getting a metal one I would just paint it red then use a Q-tip with thinner to remove the red on the fins.
