Hi, Thanks for reply, nice build btw, noticed you removed rear spoiler mounts, did you pin rear spoiler? (if so how?) what paint did you use for rims? i currently have airbrushed mine tamiya chrome silver with gloss coat, originaly i removed entire rear stays & spolier to make painting easier but changed mind & glued back, yes i wont be going near this kit again, getting the windows right took long enough, i will try a 956 kit, would love a rothmans build in my collection

hi, thanks for reply. unfortunately i dont have anything as high as 4000 polishing pads, ive only got 2000 w&d max at the moment, the enamel im using is Tamiya, do enamels need a higher psi?? why you use lacquer thinner & not enamel thinner? does it help drying time at all? ive stripped the model back to bare plastic with brake fluid, and will use masking goo for windows this time, tamiya window decals arnt very accurate. initialy when started to paint airbrush sounded like it was chocking,( airbrush was cleaned prior to painting) so will try higher psi next time (test first anyhow).

Hello, i am new to MCM, name is stu & mostly build 1/24 tamiya sports cars, jgtc, super gt, le mans, dtm & recently 1/48 fighters. have been modeling for a while now, but i have a bit of a problem. HELP! my currnet project is Tamiya's Repsol Porsche 962c. i must admit not a great kit, lacks detail & windows are molded in (not cool) but a challenge still, everything was going good until wet coat time, spraying with iwata hp series, 18psi, paint was of milk consistansy layed down a wet coat & it all turned too poo, airbrush spat half way through, had 4 runs, bits of dust, not used to using airbrush on the bodies, up until now used spray can, with good results now the color is metallic & its enamel, ive heard that you dont polish metallic cause they get lighter, wich i found out the hard way, is there a way i can fix this, i cant strip back the body cause i dont have any spare masks to do windows again. can i rub it back with 1200 on main area's & potentialy give it another go? was getting impatient, & currently letting body sit in brake fluid but it doesnt seem to be doing much, how long does it take?
