Mike, what type of clear do you use?

Thanks for the replies. I used all Tamiya products; primer, paint, and clear coat. The polish was applied with a Tamiya polish application sponge, and it was buffed off with a Tamiya microfiber cloth. The clear coat was applied 5 day ago. Maybe that was not enough cure time?

I read a tutorial on painting years ago that I have followed with success. It goes as follows: Once the paint has dried, sand the color with 3600 grit. Apply 6 coats of Tamiya TS-13 clear gloss. After the clear dries, sand with 3200 grit, then 3600 grit, then 4000 grit, then 6000 grit. Polish with Novus #2. (this was not in the original article, I added this step) Polish with Tamiya "FINE" polishing compound. Polish with Tamiya "FINISH" polishing compound. I used this procedure on the red '48 Ford, (and many builds) shown below and was very happy with the results. For some reason, this procedure doesn't work anymore. See the blue '34 Ford pickup below. I cannot get rid of the "haze". I even polished through the clear coat and had to re-clear it. I am using the exact same procedure but I am NOT getting the same results. What am I doing wrong? Did Tamiya change the formula in their clear coat? This is very frustrating. HELP???

I've got some from the '29 Model A Roadster. PM if you still need some.

I've got a 68 charger that I want to convert to a 318 car like the one that my dad bought brand new. Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove the R/T emblem from the grill without messing up the fins on the grill?

That's it. PM sent.

ISO the roll bar from the Revell '90 Mustang LX 5.0 Drag Car. I have lots to trade.

I can probably help you out. Let me know if you are still looking.

Can anyone spare a set of the optional Torq Thrst wheels from the Revellogram '70 Plymouth GTX. I have tons of wheels, tires, and other parts to trade.

I believe you are correct. The factory stripes were all black on the TAs and AAR's.. Aftermarket stripes are available in white however.

Fred Cady made some years ago in 1/25 scale. You might be able to find some here or on Ebay.

Jeffrey, I got you address. I was waiting for your to send me some other info. Check your inbox.

I have lots of kits to trade.

That's because I sent it to the wrong guy. Let me try again.

Any word on which decals are coming with the cars? Or is it going to be a surprise?

These are freaking awesome. I cannot wait. I haven't anticipated a new model release this much since the Plymouth altered wheelbase and A990.

Can anybody tell me if anyone has ever made a 1/25 scale Mopar rat roaster intake manifold? As seen in the picture.

I don't know why there is no p.m. icon on your profile. Email me your address at jjs340@zoominternet.net

I have them Shoot me a PM

That's a good idea. I'm going to try it.

Thanks for all of the input guys. I ordered some of Tamiya stuff today. Jamie

Can anyone give me some insight on what you use and how do you accent front grilles with black so that it doesn't look like a solid piece of chrome plastic? For about 40 years now, I have always brushed on some flat or semi flat paint, then simply and very lightly wipe the excess off with a tissue. The left over paint would settle into the low crevices and the the chrome fins of the grille would shine through. Another method I have used was to let the paint dry, then lightly rub the paint off of the high spots with a tooth pick. Both of these methods have always worked for me. Well, I am working on the Moebius '65 Plymouth. The crevices are so shallow, that when I try to wipe the excess paint off, I end up taking it all out. Then I tried again with my second method and it looks even worse. Attached is a photo of what I am ending up with. So my question to everyone is what other methods are out there for detailing grilles?
