That's some serious dust. All other dusty places are just wimpy. Maybe spraying models is not that important. I'd be worried about breathing in a place like that. Michael Dito man! I think you got bigger problems in that environment than just painting little model cars!

Wow, those renderings are awesome! The licensing agreements must be a nightmare!

Got a Tesla charging station in my neighborhood. Funny, don't see too many cars though!

I didn't mean to store the cars in sunlight indefinitely under a magnifying glass! Just long enough to dry out and kill mildew spores!

Probably caused by mildew being stored in a damp closed space. Try cleaning with a diluted bleach solution then rinse and dry off real well. Then let them sit in the sun for awhile. Old fashion way of disinfecting!

I tried to contact him a couple of weeks ago about buying some decals and haven't heard a peep! Wondered if he was still in business!

I honestly believe this "over engineering" is intentional to prevent shade tree mechanic and home tinkerers from doing their own repairs and forcing people to buy new or rely on the professionals for expensive repairs!

I'm trying to replicate my Dads 73 Gold Duster. It appears Keith Marks makes the style I'm looking for but they are in black or white. I need them in a darker gold than the body color. Tried to contact him about a custom set but got no response. Any ideas folks?

Scalefinishes caries that color

and people still are buying them.sales are climbing.the advertisers are doing well some have mentioned the bean counters specing cheap parts for more profit,more like light weight,light duribilty parts being used to chase that mpg figure that every one wants Bingo! Exactly what I was going to say!

That's ok, how about Ohio. You can buy fireworks but can't use them IN the state! How stupid is that!

Whiners complaining about being broke with three Harley's in their garage! LOL!!!

I would assume paints would bother you too. Just wear an effective respirator while working on your models if you want them to stay together!

Thought I read somewhere on this forum someone using MEK (methel Ethel keytone) as a substitute. Suppose to be the same thing and 10x cheaper available in hardware stores.

Man this is cool and brings back some great memories! I was 10 when the moon landing mission happened! I built this same kit and used to imagine it flying off to the moon from my nightstand! LOL! All I have left of it now are the assembly instructions. Thanks for the pics!

Probably make some kind of rat rod out of it!

Thanks. I thought so but needed to check!

Do you prime first or apply directly to the plastic anytime filler is used?

Some of the older versions of "canned air" contained butane or some other hydrocarbons.

Ask your dentist if he will part with his used burrs and drills too! I've got some from mine and they are awesome to use in a Dremil tool!

"Seriously though, I only use an airbrush and a spray booth. If you are a serious adult hobbyist there is no excuse for anything else." Serious and hobbiest almost seem like an oxymoron! If I need to take my hobby too serious then it becomes too much like work and sucks the fun out of it! I use an airbrush, spray can, bristle brush what difference does it make! He'll, if I want to throw paint filled baloons and it fun, I'll do it! By the way, I'm an adult too aging kicking and screaming! LOL!

Doesn't need two metal axils. Has two plastic axil pins for the front so it doesn't go thru the engine block. Check the assembly instructions.

Excellent!

Wouldn't a completely accurate to scale 1/25 model weigh in at almost 120 lbs. if it were 3000 lbs. 1:1?
