  1. Looking for the best way to remove MCW paint . I have tried the Purple Pond and it doesn't seem to touch it. The reason I need to remove it is that the primer doesn't stick to the plastic and if I use tape it pulls the paint off when I remove it even Bare-M-Foil will chip the paint off down to bare plastic. Not sure if I need to do more prep work or use a different primer ? I am using MCW primer.
  2. I also read where you mount two blades in an Exacto knife put some thing between them as a spacer and cut the tape. On the two occasions I tried it I got curves instead of straight.
  3. The narrowest good tape that I have found Lime Line at 1/16 that would be 1 1/2" to scale
  4. Reminds me of those Honda Ridgelines. Half SUV and half Truck. Not very good as either. I call them a "Suck"
  5. I am not a fan of "electric" Mustangs either
  6. I always refer to them as a Magnum with a sorts roof
  7. Whole new deal when you get in to the Candies and Pearls, (watch the videos)
  8. i use 4011 for most of my Createx paints. Lately i have been using the Candy2o. I can do some color mixing and add flake to it for a subtle metal flake. You can go to the Createx page and get directions on use and mixing there and Youtube has a bunch of videos on mixing and application. I use the sealer as a primer and it comes in various colors. It will work over other primers.
  9. 3D Scale only has them in big-n-littles https://www.3dscaleparts.com/product-page/1-16-15-chromed-cragar-set-of-big-and-little-wheels-and-tire

  15. After looking at their FB page I would guess the Firth is a more recent design,

  18. That picture was taken at a London car show. It referred to a "Firth Conversion" I will mostly spend a good part of my day searching for info on this

  21. update: Strange after posting this a short time ago I just received 3 emails with tracking links and notices of shipments. Since they are in California and I am in Oregon I don't expect that I have too long to wait.
  22. Looking for a bit of feedback on their shipping time frame. I did read on the confirmation E-Mail that turnaround was 3 to 4 weeks. I have one order that is about 3 weeks and one that is about 5 weeks. Not complaining just asking.
