Caterham carbon fiber printed plastic.
jaydar replied to jaydar's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks guys. Both good suggestions. So far I have only done small less complicated parts in c.f.. I would prefer to polish then wax. Adding a clear coat is just one more thing that can go wrong!!!! Joe. -
Caterham carbon fiber printed plastic.
jaydar posted a topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
If you have seen the 1/12 cycle fender version of this Tamiya kit you know the nose and fenders have a carbon fiber pattern printed in the plastic. My question is can this be polished without losing the pattern? Thanks for any help. Joe. -
Thanks Bob. Since I have both kits maybe I can make the Heller kit more like the American model. At least, lights should be no problem to swap.

It's tempting, but I regret to say I am a scale snob. It just won't fit in with other cars and bikes I have. Thanks, Joe. -

I was hoping for the 288 GTO in 1/12th. The bike will be welcome whatever it is but I would have preferred a road bike. Joe. -
I just received my 1/8 Heller Honda 750. I also have the MPC version. I believe the Heller will be more detailed. I cannot yet determine which one is more accurate. I hope they produce some detail sets. All of my detailing parts are 1/12. Has anyone built this one? Thanks, Joe.

Thanks Curt. I don't have his email. Joe.

Is anyone else having trouble contacting Norm at Replicas and Miniatures? I have been calling for two weeks and all I get is the recording. Thanks for any help. Regards, Joe.

Bravo Harry. Great work. I know the technique of using clear 5 min epoxy for lenses but I have feared that long term it will go yellowish. Obviously you do not have the same concern. What brand do you use? Thanks for sharing. Joe.

Great tip. I make springs for all my kits to replace molded springs. The screw eliminates the the task of spacing the co I 's manually. Thanks Joe. -
