  1. andy keep in mind i'm sticking to acrylics for now found metallic blue under testors acrylics looks like a bottle haven't seen any little spray can testors acrylics happy holidays!
  2. looked on testors site and can't make sense of it i was expecting metallic car colors to be grouped that their would be the basics gold silver blue red yellow purple orange they have them scattered all over what's a simple way to find acrylic metallics?
  3. hippie right now these AMT kits are available they are yearly issues when stores run out that's it hobbylinc has AMT tractors for @$25 and trailers for @$20 their shipping is fair which one? road boss is conventional and other one is a cabover that have become extinct diamond reo is from before anybody's time when freight moved on 'routes' lots of 2 lane roads
  4. mark it's this kit almost forgot what i was saying it has T body and turtledeck which is very common for dragsters since you mentioned midgets i own the Revell Kurtis Kar indy car
  5. 6 barrel bird i have the competition parts pack too guess i could build a whole car if i wanted too what do you do with your parts packs?
  6. mr pamp 1/8 and 1/4 and 1/2 scale are so darn useful for building the real thing it's not even funny anyhow this is a great kit! i'd avoid the primered version look back then no one would be seen in their car until it was looking sharp
  7. this looks like a great kit! it's nice to see T kit that's not a coupe it's molded in orange so i'd go with that color i'd use the mag's and the custom '32 radiator shell something that would be cool is duplicate the old fabric add on kit's and cover seats with thin fabric
  8. 359 hobbylinc dropped prices about 2 or 3 months ago here's a trick http://www.round2models.com/ when you look at models on AMT or MPC look at the little pictures on kit description page then click on 'buy now' and some of the pictures are different good for seeing if you want to really get the kit
  9. let me be clear about this all the tractors and trailers are from that ERA none of them have pictures of either movie on the front or anything like that is it ok to mention names of businesses here? i don't want to get screamed at for spamming
  10. a big online hobby store dropped the prices on these about a month ago to about $25 for the tractors and $20 for the trailers i think now or asap is the time to get one if you like building truck models they are Convoy era and Smoky and the Bandit era trucks which is a plus if you like that era trucks otherwise it's better than no truck kit at all i would get the chrome tanker first because they'll run out of those first
  11. mr ambrose testors mighty mini which comes with red small tip i bought set of 3 tips haven't tried them yet yellow and orange tips in set are larger
  12. 1 what size threads are on the air hose connection? because i want to get an adapter to hook up paasche ez starter airbrush 2 how do you take it apart to lubricate it? it's been sitting for years and is very noisy
  13. i want to avoid dried on paint in tip how long can you spray for before it starts drying up? do i head for the sink or spray water through it after i'm done spraying?
  14. you can get the chassis that's in this in the Double Dragster set did notice one Parts Pack ad said chassis was chrome in the kit it's just white plastic like the rest
  15. you can get the chassis that's in this in the Double Dragster set did notice one Parts Pack ad said chassis was chrome in the kit it's just white plastic like the rest
  16. AMT came out with this nostalgia kit and it's not a car kit the missile set kits that are collector items are pricey the AMT kit is politically correct with no nuclear missiles but it's a step in the right direction
  17. thank you erik that sounds like the time tested way to do it thank you danno have ton of paints here i better use what's here
  18. andy wheels and tires are two piece and made of plastic like the rest of kit
  19. Lindberg 1/32 1930 Ford Model A Pickup want to paint wheels black for tires and silver or yellow in center what's a good way to do this?
