keyser Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Someone did a nice job on rear doors. Took 2 doors each. Same person that did that doubtfully would do the roof that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 HL again. Remember the other day when I got my coupon back, and I said I wouldn't be safe until after Saturday? Yeah. Got the Revell Jeep Honcho Ice Patrol pickup, which I'd had my eye on for the past couple years, as the last last 40% off kit, and with the coupon (drumroll please): Alumilite translucent orange dye. Now I can cast me some turn signal lenses! And again I got the coupon back when I told the cashier I'd be saving it - she suggested I buy a frame for it... Guess I'll check out Michael's for that .

Captain Spaulding Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Was out and about this morning and stopped at a flea market and seen these for $1 each. Figured for that price I'd try them, all still good just need a good stirring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the filler a mix of sawdust, molasses, and Elmer's White glue? 😳 On 2/27/2021 at 12:20 PM, Tom Geiger said: I guess they soon realized it wasn’t a great idea! How does that sand? Many years ago I was at a show with my friend Chuck. He held up a body like that from a dealer’s junk box, I took one look and told him he was better off starting fresh than trying to fix that mess! He took my advice and tossed it back... and eventually built his own!

Straightliner59 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 I got a brand-spankin'-new Tropical Shine four-way polishing stick! It's a little smaller than the one it's replacing, which isn't a bad thing. I wore the old one out, but it will still work with the lathe. Also got a bottle of Dullcote. I hope I can reach the same agreement with using my airbrush that I finally have with things like sanding. I don't have a problem with using the airbrush, it's just a pain in the tuchus, mixing, cleaning...bleah. Much rather grab a can, and shoot!

Good to see you've got one, and interesting that it also has the racing parts with it. The top of my windscreen frame was cracked, as it's pretty delicate there, otherwise I don't recall any issues when building it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was happy to see the racing parts also (roll bar, steel wheels, and rear fender flares from what I can quickly see) although I'm sure I'll build it stock. That being said, I kinda like the look of the one in the picture posted below. The kit also comes with a hard and a soft uptop. These Fujimi and Tamiya kits just fall together. I'm thinking I'll go with either a red or dark metallic blue exterior. Got to see what darker colors look good on it since the last two were shades of yellow.

Your issue also has the bonus of the bodyshell being moulded in white, mine was red.

The PYRO box art is much more appealing, but maybe for the next motorcycle I'll hold out for an original issue.
