Exactly !!! Walk away it's the best shine I've ever laid down ...come back later and its dulled down...arggg . My buddy said it's a trademark of lacquer, but it doesn't bury details unless I get carried away w layers of paint . Warming the cans , and not rushing between coats is helpful. I usually have times when it turns milky from humidity , but it tends to clear right up

Not really anything fancy, I sprayed a light coat , wait 10 -15 minutes and spray again repeat as needed. The gloss doesnt appear right away during each coat, it always looks blotchy. I found it levels out as it sits. The annoying part is once I'm done spraying, theres awesome gloss...then as it gasses out overnight it dulls slightly being lacquer. I polish w novus 2 for improving the gloss

Thanks everyone I appreciate the feedback! Today was foil day..another skill I'm slowly learning, but enjoying The roofline has so many different curves , finally broke them down into smaller sections. The wide strip on top of fenders isn't trimmed yet, the molding is very faint and wasnt ready to tackle it free hand yet

Body is polished out , and decided to drop it on the frame for a look.. I'm still learning to polish these bodies out , using novus 2 w t shirt material. The roof turned out fantastic the body was slightly more wavy after wet sanding ..more practice needed

Actually that's the issue I had , the tabs seemed to long to roll tightly together around the wire hinge . Guess I'll have to check out the video too -
Excellent paint work , interior really pops too

BRBO 2020 Pete wrecker rebuild
gotnitro? replied to DrKerry's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
I wish the fella was still doing business in the UK, he had perfect sized working hinges for rigs Premade glue on and go..some reason they discontinued them The etch ones are nice and work well once done. Mine took awhile to roll correctly and keep things moving -

ISO hilburn style intake
gotnitro? replied to gotnitro?'s topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Casey , it will be 1/25 -
Sorry David ( espo) I didn't reply to your question about the adhesive for carpet. I used a brown paint from tamiya , brushing a small area at a time then dusting the embossing powder on. I figured if the powder was thin the paint would conceal it Thanks everyone for their feedback

I'm planning a build and would like to use this style intake and double plug heads, but unsure where to find one Any help appreciated.
