  1. Yes, I did. I used a compound called Malm's (malms.com) that a friend gave me. It's been a while, so I'm not positive, but I think I had to wet sand the scratches out with sanding pads first, up to 12,000 grit.
  2. A Salvino's chassis will work as well. I have a similar project in the queue using the Hurtubise kit body and I'm going to use the Salvino's Olds chassis. Looks like it lines up well, but not sure of all the challenges just yet.
  3. Very nice, Steve! I just acquired some of these not too long ago. I hope I can get to them someday... 😜
  4. This is great, Steve! Good to see you last weekend.
  5. Hi Len, Molotow definitely has a shelf life, but I'm not a huge fan of it for big chrome areas. It looks a little aluminum to me, and handles terrible. I love the pen for little touch ups on dash buttons and things like that, though. But I haven't found anything yet that beats Alclad. I know people say it doesn't handle well, and always want to clear it, but I just don't touch it. Sometimes it's inevitable while you're building, but I have been able to touch up those areas with my airbrush and you would never know it happened, because you can touch it up with such a fine paint flow that you can't even see it coming out. I haven't tried Revell, but while it's shiny, every sample I've seen looks like it picks up every bit of dust in the room, and looks too thick. Also, I can't justify the cost. Looks like a lot of waste out of the can, but maybe it can be decanted. I do have both some SPS and DSPIAE chrome I'm going to try someday. Maybe that will be better... Hope whatever you try works out for you! Art
