RodneyBad Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 (edited) I do know that BMF stands for Bare metal foil. It is a Thin version of Tinfoil that comes with a adhesive backing to do your Chrome window trim and what-nots instead of using Silver paint. http://www.bare-metal.com/bare-metal-foil.html Edited July 27, 2011 by RodneyBad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Other than BMF, one other that I can think of offhand is CA or CA glue. That is more or less a fancy way of saying super glue. There is also ROG, which is any kit sold by Revell Of Germany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete J. Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 PE - photo etched parts BMF - Bare Metal Foil CA - Cyanoacrylate Adhisive aka superglue CF - Carbon Fiber - generally refering to decals SMS - Scale Motorsport - After market company with several propritary model kits. Best know for there CF decals(see above) HLJ - Hobby Link Japan - Seller of kits and parts from Asia.

Danno Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 What a great idea for a thread. I did not know some of those,this should be a sticky thread. Now if i could find out what HMFWIC means. I'm fearless, but I'm not going anywhere near that one! :o Let's just say it's similar to Head mellow fellow Who's In Charge gets as close as we need.

Harry P. Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 MCM. 1,900... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highway Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 MCM. 1,900... Is the MCM for the name of the magazine, or could it have another meaning Harry? Maybe Mentally Challenged Modelers?? What about the 1,900, is that how many kits you have? You're not doing a very good job explaining here Harry!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Flip the last M in MCM over, and you get MCW, Model Car World, purveyors of fine scale automotive paints and resin kits. Oh, and to fans of the movie Pulp Fiction, BMF stands for something else entirely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
