  1. Thank you very much for the reply. I will give it a whirl. Would 3M Painters tape work equally well in place of the regular masking tape?
  2. Hello, and I hope everyone is well. Now that the weather is finally warming up here in NJ I can start doing paint jobs. One of my stash projects is the Monogram 1956 Chevrolet Belair I picked up at Ollies recently. I am generally not one to really attempt two tone paint jobs (I think about it quite a bit but don't have the guts to do it) so I could use some assistance. I have laid down a coat of Testors One Coat Lacquer Diamond Dust as the base. I am planning on using One Coat Lacquer White Lightning, and a yet undecided second color. Now comes the fun part the masking of the trim along the sides of the car, and the roofline/trunk area? Can anyone please guide me in the direction for the prep, and which tape/supplies to use. I'm thinking Tamiya masking tape will be the tape choice but what else do I use to cover the White? I am pretty apprehensive to say the least as I would like to get nice crisp lines. Any help will as always be most appreciated. Thank you in advance.
  3. Please check with me when the NJ Polar Icecap thaws. I’ll have an answer then.
  4. yuhrte654 Started conversation: 1 hour ago I got a message from yukilop90 as a local seller, it's my old friend and very honest person, message me about AMT Autocar parts for sale... Thought I'm still interested and I've get one few days ago, kindly check on him maybe it's still available... Here's his Email mikescott6678@gmail.com. Yup me too. Beware.
  5. Hello all hope all are well. Quick question about the 4070A pics inside the instructions (the one color cab) since they are Black & White does anybody have any idea the actual color? I’m thinking Red or Blue.
  6. Warren hello hope all is well, and thank you for the reply. I could use hood, cab, and fenders. Just let me know what you’d like in return. Thank you.
  7. I'd like to join in this year. Have had a major builders block up until recently. So why not enter this. Just bought it today. Please let me know if I can enter or is it too late?
  8. I just picked this up today off the shelf at my nearby Hobby Lobby. Had one back in 1978 from a friend who started the kit and bottled painted the cab and then would clean the brush with tap water. Before you ask, I don't know why he did that. So, I am (as always) very unsure about color(s). I also can use some of you builder's experiences with this kit. I did not have a good experience with the R-685ST frame and suspension which has shied me away from attempting any other AMT Mack kits. As always suggestions are welcomed. Thank you.
  9. I think WOW would be a good word to use. That's awesome.

  19. Hello all hope everyone is well. Change of plans. A combination of builders block and the inability to be able to paint cause it’s Winter have altered my entry choice. Picked this up at my model car club meeting. My Wife wanted a real 1:1 when we started dating 36 years ago. Color choice will be up to her. Please advise if I can use this as my entry instead of my original choice.
  20. Hello all, Hope everyone’s well. Started this project a few days ago. AMT White Freightliner SD. The cab and frame were painted last Summer and put away. Going for a West Coast freight truck look. Cab is Krylon Royal Blue. Need a color suggestion for the frame. Thinking Red or Orange. Could use suggestion(s). Also doing it as a single slack. So need directions on how to do that. Thanks..
