Charlie thanks for the tips. I will look to follow what you have written above.

Oh okay thanks. I think I'll leave that up to the experienced modelers in the group.

Harry how do they get the seams in the roof to look so lifelike?

Ok thanks.

Ace thanks. Based on what you've posted I will choose the GSX. As I get better I may try my hand at the Road Runner. I will say I am in complete awe of what is being done by the forum members. Unfortunately my finished product may pale in comparison when done but what the heck I'm gonna give it my best shot. Thanks JerseeJerry55

Harry, Thanks. So I fully grasp what you're saying. I would paint the body of the car first. Then mask and paint the "vinyl roof"? Also how far of a distance 12 to 15 inches? Thanks again. JerseeJerry55

Thanks. Quick question not really related but here goes. How do you do a vinyl roof that looks realistic? I've seen some really nice ones on the forum. Thanks again for the reply.

Hi. I am going to start building model cars again and I am looking at two different cars for my 1st project in over 30 years. The Monogram 1970 Buick GSX and the AMT 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner. Quite simply back in the days of my teens and early 20's it was more or less the subject choice rather than the brand for me and the 2 cars I have outlined are probably my 2 favorite muscle cars of all time. So my questions are: Is either easier to assemble?What issues are there on assembly? Example uncooperative decals, difficulty with fit, etc.Which brand generally is the better?Sorry for the basic questions but since not having done this since the mid 1980's I've probably forgotten more than I remember. Thanks. JerseeJerry55

To all, Hello. I am in the midst of deciding on a few things for my build of the AMT IH 4300 reissue. I am most likely going to build a day cab version of this tractor so here are my questions: Most freight company trucks I have seen on the internet featured single stack tractors. That being said if I base my model off of a freight company tractor how easy is it to cut down the tubing to make it a single stack? I have chosen a Testors Royal Blue paint fpr the cab. Is anyone aware of which trucking companies featured their tractors in a Royal Blue? How easy is it to create your own decals? If anyone can help it would be most appreciated. Thank you. JerseeJerry55
