$142,000,000 Mercedes
Mike 1017 replied to 89AKurt's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I think the plan would be to donate it to a Not for Proffit Muesum. With the owners' caveat of first right of refusal. A $174,000,000 is a nice tax wright off. Mike- 40 replies

$142,000,000 Mercedes
Mike 1017 replied to 89AKurt's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Mercedes has been lagging behind the rest of the F1 teams. Podium finishes have been hard to come by. Hamilton got 1 in Bahrain. $142,000,000 would be a huge an investment. Results ????. A pig with $142,000.000 is still a pig. Mike- 40 replies

I see on the box a General Mills logo. Was MPC owned by them or was there some sort of cereal promotion going on? Mike -
When my wife and I go out antiquing I always spot old radio tubes. We live in the Chicago area and there are a lot of stores. Grage and estate sales are probably the best. The older the house the better finds are lurking there. Good luck in your hunt Mike

I paint the body first and clear coat it. This way the paint has time to cure. When it comes to final assembly I don't have to worry about finger prints or soft paint Any residue from BMF or epoxy can be taken care with Maguires or just soap and water. I use Scale Finishes clear. It really protects the paint. Mike

We just got back from Hawaii and had a wonderful time. Everyone said "Hawaii is so expensive" Any vacation to a major city New York, Chicago, LA, or Toyko is expensive. Especially if you are staying on the Main Drag. I could not find a job Mike

My wife and I are on our way to Hawaii this morning. If I can get a job, there I am not coming back. Looking forward to meet you Gregg. Mike 1017 .

Airbrush Cleaning-Ultrasonic Cleaner
Mike 1017 replied to 69NovaYenko's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
The reamer is very fine and narrow. Sometimes it will push dried paint through the tip. I don't put any pressure on the reamer just lightly spin the tip on top. Until it feels smooth The first time I did this I could really feel the imperfections in the tip. There is a U Tube video about tuning up an airbrush Mike 1017 -

Airbrush Cleaning-Ultrasonic Cleaner
Mike 1017 replied to 69NovaYenko's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Lets have an Airbrush cleaning shoot out at the OK Coral. I left out a couple of steps. I use jewelry bead reamer to smooth out the inside of the tip, the part that the needle slides through, and the trigger. Anything that I can clean with a micro brush or old paint brush. A drop of oil where the trigger hits the air release valve. I use the 6,000 8,000 and 12,000 polishing sheets on the needle. It sprays better than new. Mike 1017 -
Airbrush Cleaning-Ultrasonic Cleaner
Mike 1017 replied to 69NovaYenko's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I clean mine after every use. I have timed myself 7 minutes start to finish. There is a lot of stuff on You Tube about Airbrush maintenance. Mike. -
It is a shame that with kits pushing $30.00 and not to mention this is the 21st century that decal quality is still an issue. Is the decal manufacturing process too old and worn out? What ever happened to dip in water and apply? Even old Tamiya decals seem to withstand the test of time. Contracting out to Slixx would be a great solution. Mike
