    Had got around to rewatching the Batman trilogy in 4K, and in the 2nd movie with the tumbler reminded me of moebius. I had forgot they produced these kits, as I own the new Batman car they had put out. So found these with a good deal on eBay.

    No model related stuff, but got this for Christmas.

    Those are nice. The dspiae’s might look similar to godhands(red handle), but there not the same at all. Now the blue handle godhands are even thinner. Basically red pair is for cutting the nub, and blue pair is for clean up. The main use for that method was towards gunpla, but lots of methods from other similar hobbies have made there way to model cars. All these single blade nippers do a great job cutting the nub, with a clean cut (no stress mark) leaving minimum clean up if any at all if used properly. A little sanding afterwards can save from having a $120+ in two pair of nippers though.

    Nothing beats the GODHAND nippers. But what you should of done when cutting the dashboard off was use the blue pair to cut the gate, and than use the dspiae's from the side to cleanly cut the nub off. There not meant to cut thick sprue (such as gates), and you can easily damage the thin blades.

    Funny this is a post because i was actually looking at this kit myself. These two versions are the same just different box. I believe the lighting F-150 is the same as well besides the "lightning" options. The red version here is original release i think 91, and the 2nd box art was released in 95 with that new box.

    Wish i could help, but all i can do is follow. I own a ton of there PE sets for trucks, but i haven't used any of it either. The instructions can be a little vague so i agree with you on that one, but the set you got doesn't seem too bad once you get in the right direction.

    Love it. I was just eye balling the calsonic skyline at hobby town today, but I didn’t get it ?

    Looks awesome man. Did the hood come warped a little though or something else going on?

    Promised myself I’d never buy another MPC kit…Still haven’t broke that promise lol.

    I can't say for sure that the humidity caused that issue, but 85 is way to high. I'm not sure how you even sit in that to even paint lol. Certainly need to get your painting area a little more controlled, and get the humidity down though. 85% there's a ton of moisture in the air, and the best way to combat that is a dehumidifier. 30%-55% is ideal living conditions. What's your humidity when it's not raining?

    Good to know because i own this kit. So if mine is that bad i wont even waste my time on just use it for a paint mule.

    How is the quality? I know they released another version of this bus as well.

    Went back to Ollie’s, and found these in a different section.

    I always pull, and there worth the money. You can get a 100 pack for like a $1 or $2 more than a 100 pack of regular blades. I prefer using them with regular xacto blade handle instead of the handle you get with a set. I just snap part of the bottom off with cutters, and place inside handle. Much much more comfortable than the skinny surgical blade handle.

    Got these two from Ollie’s. Nothing special.

    I think i seen something enamel of there's before, but i don't remember though. I also can't find anything on there website related to it.
  20. Dpate
    At Ollie’s? Hmm guess there getting different ones in now.
  21. Dpate

    Yeah surfacer's carrier is lacquer based.
  23. Dpate
    Yeah the alclad is fragile too, but for some reason mine just stayed tacky in certain spots.
  24. Dpate
