yea I can see how that can happen !!! quote name="om617" post="1169172" timestamp="1398702586"]I enjoy the the mix of modern tecknology with classic design. I also admire the crafmaship of those who do radical custom kits even if it`s not always my cup of tea. As for myself i just cant leave anything completely stock because i have to at least adjust the ride height or change the wheels,and then the ball start rolling lol.

Even my real car is all stock ' 2001 honda civic lx . Something I am sure most people will tune up and race around in!!!. I think there is a stage where too many aftermarket parts and stuff can actually make any real car look cheap, or kinda off. If a car is going to be modded it has to be modded correctly , not like one aftermarket ground effects bumper in the front and the back stock lol, or a million colors or stripes in a hood or body, and you wonder why that is there? Lol. Or a different color hood , primered hood and the rest painted.

Hey this paint looks like it matches what im looking for. Im going to look for this at the hobby shop or online. Thanks!!!! Not yet, i should -
As I'm getting older , I'm realizing I'm not customizing model cars as much as I used to with big rims and flashy paint outside of factory stock . I'm beginning to have an appreciation for stock builds, stock rims , factory correct paint, etc. Is this normal? Lol have any of you guys experienced this transition? Lol

Does any company make the best kit?

I do not like tamiyas subject matter as well, all imports quote name="checkmate" post="1162057" timestamp="1397790569"]There's only one real issue with Tamiya, their subject matter is garbage. And remember this is only my opinion but German and British touring cars, F1, Japanese cars and European supercars have zero interest to me. -
I like this design, nice color choice for this style

Dehumidifiers in hot weather

Now that it's gonna be nicer out, do you guys use a dehumidifier to bring down humidity in ur paint rooms?

Nice model , love this car!

Give BMf a try sometime, it's not too hard just have a sharp knife and cotton swabs Yes the hood stripes are a major pain. You have to scrape and press and keep working the wrinkles out without tearing them. Then, if your lucky like me one side falls off onto a piece of black electrical tape and sticks to it. You can see the blue color is pulled off of the passenger side. Every model, every model I try to assemble comes out with at least one blemish. time. Foil? Not me. That's just a can of worms I do not want to open. I would make a major mess out of that.
