Thanks.

Picked this up at Ollies today. A little different for me as I usually like American muscle or hot rods. But I'll give this one a try in the near future.

I graduated high school in 1969, went to work with my Father in the logging business and bought my first car, a 1966 Impala SS 396, Muncie 4-speed. I am going to try and replicate it with this kit. I don't remember too much about it, and I have no pictures. If I remember correctly it was Aztec Bronze color. I have that ordered from MCW Finishes. I do remember installing chrome reverse wheels, which were the thing then, got some ordered from Pegasus. I also installed a chrome open filter air cleaner, that was the thing then also. You could buy them from Gibson's dept. stores back then. Found one in my parts box. I have finished the engine, working on the chassis now and doing some cleanup on the body and other parts while I wait on the paint. All comments welcome, thanks for looking.

Hobbynut Models did not have the Aztec Bronze I needed. It's only available in lacquer, Hobbynut only carries the enamels.

I'm about 250 miles from Hobbylinc, and once my order ships, which takes a few days, I get it within 2 days. But with Hobbylinc you can at least follow the process through your order status page.
-
Well, like I said I'm in no rush. Was just wondering.
-
I'm not really concerned, but a little confused. It states 3-9 business to ship the order, I know it didn't mean to receive the order. Probably only take 3-4 days to get to me after shipping. But what I was asking is do they send a email confirming the order, I've got nothing, that doesn't seem right after a week. Also when I go to the site I don't see anything about paint orders being back logged. It does state resin orders will be back ordered. Like I said, not really concerned, just strange not to get a confirmation email. I'm in no rush, I'm retired, don't get in a rush anymore.

Thanks. I was just wondering if it was typical not to even get a notice from them after ordering. I know it takes time, but it does say ships within 3-9 business days.

Watched A Man Called Otto the other night, starring Tom Hanks. Great movie. Saw Where The Crawdads Sing a few weeks ago, really good movie.
-
I placed my order a week ago and have not heard anything from them. Is this typical? How long does it usually take for them to ship out a order?
-
Thanks. Thanks. Thanks Bob. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks JIm. Thanks David. Thanks. Thanks. Thanks.

Got the Porsche from HL, 40% off week. The DE Nascar was obtained through a trade with a forum member. The 66 Impala is from Hobbylinc. The Porsche is a little different for me since I usually build hot rods,American muscle and nascar. With the Impala I'm going to try and replicate my first car I got when I got out of high school at age 17. I don't have any pictures of it, but remember the color was Aztec Bronze. I changed out the wheels for some chrome reverse ones not long after I got it.

Looks really good. I like the detailing and weathering.

Calling it done. Thanks for the comments and for looking. Photos under glass.

Thank you.

This is a nice kit. Had fun with it. Just a few problems, seems the door handles are very delicate. I broke both getting them off the tree. Then I noticed there was another set, I got one off ok, but broke the second one. I managed to get it glued back together. Also same with the wiper blades, broke one but there is only one set. So it only has a driver's side wiper, but hey it's a gasser. Paint is Tamiya orange acrylic, no clear. All comments welcome, thanks for looking.
-
Ok, I misunderstood what you wanted it for. No, do not use the Mr. Hobby stuff, too expensive to be cleaning brushes. For cleaning brushes I use with Tamiya Acrylics I just use cheap walmart brand rubbing alcohol. Or cheap lacquer thinner.
-
I think it's a no-no to put lacquer over enamel.
-
The best thinner I have found to use with Tamiya acrylics is Mr. Hobby Leveling Thinner. It works great.
