  6. I agree with Peter and David...!!! and I would love to see some late model Mustang and Corvette full glue kits...!!
  7. Welcome back to the hobby and to the forum Greg...! A lot has changed 43 years ... you will enjoy it .. . you had patients...LOL...I used to build 'em in one day.. with glue that didn't dry for 2 or 3 days.
  8. Welcome back to the forum Jesus..!!
  9. Are they dry transfer, or waterslide decals ?
  10. I use a hobby cutting mat. I lay all my tape on the mat first ... just so it takes a touch of the adhesive off... not sure if it's nessesary just how I do it. I've been told tamiya tape is great to use , but I have not yet tried it. Good luck..!
  11. This is how I do it also, but I buy 3M automotive tape 2" wide so I can cut flame patterens and other graphics too. I have always had great results with the 3M

  16. Excellent article Pete...! thanks for sharing ..! This is how I was taught .. One guy said, that always stuck with me was, You only finish as good as you start....
  17. When I can't decide what to build I flip a coin....then choose the one that interest me more at the time.... and ignore the results of the coin toss...LOL Can't go wrong on either... both Ferraris.... Good luck with the one you choose !

  21. orang peel won't dissapear.. paint hides nothing... it inhances flaws , even clear
  22. I use LMG polishing cloths. I usually start with 3600 depending how bad the orange peel is. Then move to the next highest grit. 4000, then 6000 , 8000 , then the final 12000. orange peel is like a mountian... it has peaks and valleys... when you start sanding the peaks become dull and the vallyes are still shiny. when you get to where there is no shiny spots left the paint is flat .. then you can procede to the next highest grit. that grit takes out the scratches the previous grit made... 6000 takes out the 4000 scratches 8000 takes out the 6000 scratches etc. till you get to the end 12000 and there are no scratches left.. and you should see shine. then you can use a good plastic polish , or wax to shine it up and protect the finish. Hope this helps... oh.... I use Novus 3 part plastic polish
  23. I agree with you Snake...!
  24. Nice job on the Ford...
