Just finshed the cherry bomb I like these old kit reissues wish they did more of them

An old AMT kit i found wish they made more kits like this baby

Nice simple kit I liked it

Hey guys thanks for the advice so with some mods I came up with this took the fan motor outa the box and mounted it through the back of the box so shld be no worries about fumes and sparks mixin from the motor when i turned it on I placed a piece of paper on the filter and it stuck to it like glue so should vent any fumes id say total cost 20 bucks for the ceiling fan assembly 6.99 for the plastic tub and 7.99 for the flex hose and 3 12 by 20 furnace filters for 4.50 may not be pretty but its functional lol once again thanks for the advice

Hey guys I built a paint booth using a 50 l plastic storage tub and i used a bathroom ventilation ceiling fan purchased at Lowes mounted to the back of the plastic tub with a 3 inch flex hose out the window in front of the fan i placed an ordinary furnace filter the fan motor is in the air stream shld I be worried abt EXPLOSIONS here ??? I use acrylics and lacquers both I tryied it with some acrylic tamiya and it works just great only cost me 35 bucks to build.Any thoughts and advice will be welcomed. Rudy

thanks for the info guys after i strip this latest build ill try the 800 grit and the dusting method to prevent bleed threw well i never thought of that but ill be sure to give that a whril as well wish me luck, better yet i got some styrene sheets kickin around so practice time for the weekend lol

Hey guys im fed up and need some help everytime i try to tape a body to two tone it when i remove the tape it usually pulls the paint off of the colour im trying to protect ive tried primer ive wett sanded before hand with 2000 1500 grit paper tried with and without primer im using the model master gloss white acrylic ive tried the tamiya tape the yellow frogg tape the green painters tape ive washed the bodies in dawn dish soap and let dry overnight as an example i painted the firestone 78 ford 4x4 kit white sunday afternoon and let it sit till tonight wensday and when i was taping it i repostioned the tape and off the white came didnt even get a chance to spray the red colour what am i doin wrong ???? I see lots of you fellas with nice sharp lines so there must be a way but hell if I know any thoughts would be helpfull Thanks Rudy

Saw this in a hobby shop and couldnt resist my all time fav show for back in the day when i was a kid ooooops showin my age again hahah

Need some help this one really baffles me I have the iwata cleaning station glass bottle plastic top I use mostly lacquer thinners to clean my air brush when Im done i put the cleaning station back in the plastic container that it came in untill the cleaning station bottle is about half full before i empty it out when i opened the outer bottle today I had to just about pry the lid off seems like it has shrunk and the cleaning station bottle lid seems to have expanded and it wont screw on the glass jar WTF ?? I thought thats what the outer bottle was for to keep in the fumes when your not using it do you suspose the lid will shrink back to its normal size if I leave it empty and opened up ??? any thoughts on this one guys ??

My latest project painted with decanted krylon sun yellow and clear coated with pledge floor care aka future thanks for lookin

Why no tail lights well its a bitch when ya get old and your eyes arent that good anymore and my hands not steady enough to glue them on lol they were real tiny in this kit

Just finished this one its painted with alclad candy orange and the exhaust and drive line is the alclad chrome man I love this stuff looks sweet now just gotta keep the dust away while its dryin lol thanks for lookin

Yes the Pledge floor care stuff is what you want I got some here in Hamilton Ont shld be able to buy it anywhere in Canada and works like a charm

Thought this was a nice kit to experiment with first time ive tryied to fogg together two colours I used Alclad pale gold over the gloss black base the header pipes were stripped of there chrome because it was in poor shape then re-painted with the Alclad chrome its close to matching the real chrome parts I took every ones advice on here and bought a decent air brush badger 105 glad I did also for the final coat i used Pledge floor care wax as ive also seen posted here topped of with a polish using Novus 1 really brings out the shine still have lots to learn and alot of pratice too be as good as you all but thats half the fun thanks for lookin and for all the tipps

I painted this with Alclad Candy Golden Yellow and testers gloss black and tan makes a chepo kit look sweet Id say thanks for lookin

This is my first attempt using Alclad The Candy red looks not bad but learned alot from the first try such as it runs very easily and had to strip the first coat off hahah I used Mothers Syn Wax to strip it only by accident that is, thought I might be able to polish out the run and low and behold it stripped the candy red off with the first rub even after it was dryed for a couple days and with a little elbow grease it also took the bright sliver base coat off too. Lots more practice needed to get it right but hey thats half the fun lol decals are a mix of left overs thanks for lookin

Thanks for the info I went out and got a regulator this morning so Ill give it a go later on and see what happens Ive also been thinking of the badger 105 for some time now this is the first lacquer Ive ever used and the clean up on the bottle is a pain lol maybe its time i switched ?

thought id give Alclad 2 a try the chrome paint for starters Im usuing an iwata neo air brush bottom feed and badger compressor no regulater so I think its pumpin out 30 psi sprayed my gloss black base coat first and had good luck with it goin on smooth so Ill wait a day for it to dry before i spray the chrome. My question is should I get a regulater to drop the air pressure to the 12 to 15 psi pressure they recomend ? and I asked my local hobby shop if I could use lacquer thinners they sell in the hardware stores for like 6 bucks for a huge bottle to clean the air brush and they say no it may wreck the air brush but of course they wanta sell you a a bottle of the alclad cleaner for 10 bucks plus its a pain to clean the paint bottle out afterwards so using the alclad cleaner would become very expensive so what do you guys think any help would be welcomed.

I really like this kit cheap price but very well made a must have thanks for lookin

Not much flash but the doors dont fit good and the hinges were a joke in my opinion so just fit them as best I could and glued in place lots of extra parts to use for kit bashing engine drive line and suspension this is the third mini craft kit ive done and prob the last lol same issues with the others as well

Just another of the mini craft series painted with tamiya sky blue glued the back doors shut and filled them I think it looks better that way

I really like this onecame out nice

Yes I used modelmaster gloss clear coat but it went kinda dull and orange peely not sure why thou any ideas ??

I seem to be getting better with the air brushing still got a long way too go thou got this one on sale for $ 24.00 at a boxing day sale 1/16 scale nice kit has some fit issues but thats half the fun i guess painted with Italeri gloss green and model master gloss black

Yea this was a nice kit with really good fits thank god for a maginfying glass thou its a bitch when ya get old hahaha
