Great looking model. Do not fear Tamiya Clear it can easily be stripped using 91% Alcohol which will not hurt the plastic. For tinting using Future use food coloring to tint it. You can dip or spray it but haved learned to wipe it on using disposable cosmetic pads. Future can be strpped easily with straight ammonia which also will not hurt the plastic.

You have the right idea. Paint the letters red with a lacquer. Then paint the letters with Tamiya X18 Acrylic(jar). Then wipe off the top of the letters with ammonia. Ammonia will not effect the lacquer underneath. This will work far better if you can airbrush it. Finding a water based acrylic in a spray can is hard to find. None of the hobby paints come that way.

I doubt it is much different than plasti dip seen below. It will go bad very quickly before you use it all. I would not waste the money on it.

Nice job. Here is a great video of the 77 car with Ickx at the wheel 936 at lemans Below is my model of the car he is driving.

The privateer Glickenhaus SCG003C is on the pole for tomorrows race which starts about 9:00 AM EST. A great start to a great race weekend. Pole Shootout

I used to buy it regularly. Do you remember the "amazing" Trevor Pask? I never could figure why he was allowed to build for a good magazine.

I second that. Tamiya TS-21 Gold. The sheen is good as is, no clear over needed. It will look a little better if you decant and airbrush it. The gold wheels below were airbrushed TS-21

The changes look great. The rear bumper body work is gone(yeah!!!) They will look closer to F1 they ever have in recent years. 2018 Indy Cars

Future is the best thing to use over it because it is a totally neutral clear that does not react with the paint. All other clears will react with the paint to some extent. Future will dull it a bit but not to the level of other clears. If you don't like or want it off it strips with straight ammonia which does not effect the underlying paint(except water based acrylics)

It also depends on what airbrush you use and what tip size is in that airbrush. Smaller tips require more thinning.

This a problem with Future over enamels. I love Future so I never use enamels on bodies for this reason. Nick(High Octane) please read the original post, he never said anything about using a lacquer clear coat so your reply is nt that helpful. I am glad you do not have any problems with what you use.

I use to think bad of th USPS but for the most part they have been very good with stuff I order. I get stuff quicker from them than UPS, I actually prefer the post office these days. I get stuff from a company in Ohio and it takes 4 days to get it to me in south central PA. It takes First Class mail 2 days.

I like to airbrush Tamiya's lacquers. Especially if masking for a second color is necessary. the acrylics just do not dry has hard and making makes marks in it.

No it's just an idea I would try. I would use Plastruct half round because it bends better without breaking than evergreen. I use Bondene by Plastruct liquid glue or for a little more time Tamiya's extra thin cement.

Half round evergreen glued on a .010" sheet evergreen base. Make over size, heat and bend then cut to size.

The fake engine noises are also to alert pedestrians there is a car coming.

Thankfully our laws in PA now let grocery stores sell beer and wine.

A new lap record was set at Nurburgring. The car is total electric with a motor and transmisson at each wheel. The acceleration is incredible as is how smooth it drives. The driver was Peter Dumbreck who famously flipped a Mercedes twice at the 99 Lemans .Onboard video is here Record Breaker

Paint, decal then clear to protect the decals but on a real racecar the decals are last. Look at this picture of the new larger numbers for F1 cars being applied to this Ferrari this past weekend at the Spanish GP.

The cheap airbrushes don't necessarily clog. The problems are more related to bad seals, they use rubber instead of solvent resistant materials. They also have allot of extra seals due to poor machining tolerance on the metal parts. The head assembly on the Harder & Steenbeck breaks down easily and has less parts. I believe the plus refers to the metal parts having a better more durable finish. BTW I love the dog in your signature, is he your dog?

Don't hesitate. If I had the money I would already have one. They have a great reputation and great reviews.

Not on of my favorite Ferraris but your model is beautiful.

Congrats to Alonso Rookie Test
