  1. Helmet cam driving a Audi R8 GT3 in the Bathurst 12 hr. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0Qx0xuPmw0
  2. This makes me glad I bought a NEO TRN1( trigger type) they use a Teflon seal and I have had no issues with it, The NEO is cheaper too.
  3. ditto and add baking soda to the mix for bigger holes
  4. Thanks for the links. This is really one of the best races on the planet and always comes down to a close finish.
  5. The ACO invitation list to race at this years 24 hrs of Lemans. Four Ford GT's were invited. There will be 60 cars this versus the 56 previously. I am ready for this one. http://www.motorsport.com/all/article/?id=671807
  6. Here are a few good things I have got. Hollow punches, diamond rotary grinding bits for the Dremel and diamond cut off wheels. They have allot of things that are useful and work for building models. I use there 3 gallon pancake compressor and love it.
  7. I have the Talon. For doing a body I would use the large tip(.66mm) Tip size also affects the sheen on a semigloss paint. If you want it a little flatter use a smaller tip. Also take into consideration the size of the part being painted. Practice ,practice and practice some more.
  8. None of the hobby shops in my area can get it anymore. I have been using Plastruct Bondene and works about the same. I pour it in an old Tamiya Extra Thin Cement because of the great small brush. Tamiya's glue is good but takes a little longer to dry which is a good thing sometimes.
  9. I have also had issues with the newer Passche hoses. I have Iwata and Paasche airbrushes so I was using adapters on the Iwatas. I have now switched to Iwata hose adapters on my Paasche airbrushes and got a hose(Iwata type) from Harbor Freight. This fixed all the air leak problems I had. The Paasche hose does not let enough threads exposed to tighten well. Also you should install a cutout valve on the out put of your compressor so you can change things out without losing air.
  10. How do you fell about this http://www.motorsport.com/nascar-cup/news/scientist-bill-nye-urges-nascar-to-shift-to-electric-cars-670011/ personally I am with Enzo Ferrari when he said 'there is a melody in the noise" .
  11. I am working on this one now. I got new decals made by Shunko for it. They are making allot of really nice decals for older Tamiya kits. This is the 1/20 scale kit. I built a full roll cage and will do some detailing. I lowered the rear suspension. If you look at any type of 935 the top of the rim should be right at the top of the wheel opening with no sidewall exposed at this point.
  12. Yes I love mine. The three tip sizes will cover all your needs. I think it is one of the best values out there. The big cup is really nice. Parts are sturdy and easy to find. It is $99 on amazon right now.
  13. It is most likely moisture in the air supply to the airbrush. Do you have proper water trap installed? If it is at the compressor output you may need on closer to the airbrush, such as the Paasche inline trap.
  14. This one is worth it, some say it was the most beautiful F1 car ever. Gurney Eagle

    Merc DTM

    This one is done. RoG is no Tamiya.
  16. great looking model of historic Porsche race car.
  17. This paint does seem to be transparent to some extent. I ahve had good results when a silver base is used. Tamiya does have a spray TS-87 Titanium Gold which works great. the gold parts on this Nissan interior are TS-87 airbrushed.
  18. Novus must have silicone in it. I learned the hard way. I painted over a body polished with Novus and got the worst case of fish eyes ever.
  19. Do not use alcohol on lacquers of any type, or acrylics. Ammonia will safely remove polishes and waxes. You could use 3600 - 6000 grits in the micromesh polish kits too be absolutely sure.
  20. This glue seems a little stronger than other PVA glues. It can be cleaned up with a damp Q-Tip and will not attack anything. I use it for allot final asembly work.
  21. I also have heard that acid in the backing paper causes this. If you ever had any older Cartograf decals they are on a blue tinted paper and they never seem to yellow. I have some that are almost 30 yrs old that have not yellowed.
  22. I have only seen this on TESTORS brand maybe it has something to with their stuff.
  23. You may want to consider the NEO for Iwata TRN-1(.35mm Gravity Feed) or TRN-2(.55m Side Feed) .They are trigger type They do not use the O-Ring they just use the usual Teflon packing seal. They both cost around $110 on AMAZON or Chicagoairbrushsupply.com. Hobby Lobby has the TRN-1 at $179.99 but you could use a 40% off coupon. Chicagoairbrushsupply.com has parts for both. I have both of these and I love them.
