  1. Yes, it did. I just stripped the rear bumper of an AMT '58 Plymouth down to its gray styrene. No lacquer undercoat left.
  2. The plating was pretty ratty and I was planning on removing it anyway.
  3. I was attempting to clean the front bumper/grille from an SMP 1961 Chrysler Imperial using Dawn Platinum Powerwash Spray. Scrubbing with a toothbrush, I discovered that it would completely remove the chrome plating.
  4. K&S discontinued KNS83040. Burbank's House of Hobbies has 0.8mm (1/32") aluminum rod. WAVE AL-Line 0.8mm Aluminum rod Google the item for other sources.
  5. Arrived this morning: Dremel 8260 Black Smart Multi Tool w/Brushless Motor and Bluetooth Support The soft case is included.
  6. Widget Supply announced that, due to health issues, the store will close around June 1. There is a closeout sale taking place with quantity and Military / Veteran discounts available. Time to grab some tools and accessories.
  7. Why don't you unbunch your shorts, man? If one can't perform elementary school-level arithmetic, that's a sad state of affairs. I guess fourth grade was the best three years of some peoples' lives.
  8. AMT 1961 Chrysler Imperial Convertible Still have to find two tail lights and another front bumper/grille. Also, picked up another Protar Ferrari 250 GTO.
  9. Ding-ding-ding! We have a winner! Soar Art's 1/35 scale 80cm Dora Railway Gun is packed in a 41" x 21" x 13" box which is almost as large as a studio apartment in NYC. I bought one some years ago but haven't started it yet. I wonder why?
  10. Liang LIG-0236A Miter Cutter
  11. Wash the polished windshield to remove whatever residue from the polishing compound,; that is, if you used any. Then, dip the windshield in acrylic floor finish, such as Quick Shine, or Alclad Aqua Gloss Clear. When dry, the floor finish/gloss coat will fill in the scratches, making them virtually invisible.
  12. Picked up a new Olympos HP-101 airbrush to replace my 40+ year old model. Only took three days to arrive, with free delivery, from Japan.
  13. Sorry to say; but, that's way too much c_rap around those fender flares. As was stated previously, Tamiya putty is solvent-based and can unnecessarily soften the Evergreen strips and the plastic to which they're attached. It requires too much sanding which could alter the final shape of the flares and surrounding plastic. One can use Magic-Sculpt two part epoxy putty as a filler around the flares. It's available in 16 colors to suit one's needs. It's water-soluble and you can smooth it with a dampened cloth or wet fingertip to obtain the proper shape.
  14. Supercar Modeling Project website. There is mention of 3D printing, though. That means resin of some type; so, as Shark said, CA or two part epoxy would be required. Pretty expensive kits, BTW.
  15. I use Stynylrez primers. They're self-leveling and dry to a smooth finish. No sanding required.
  16. That's an excellent razor saw set. I've been using it for the last 10 years. The kerf is 0.3mm.
  17. It's a solid, not metallic color. Check out this list of Jeep CJ 1976-1986 Paint Codes. Order a 1oz. bottle of Single Stage touch up paint from paintscratch.com.
  18. Tapatalk is notorious for large amounts of popup ads. Get uBlock Origin. It's an ad content blocker. It's 100% effective in blocking popup junk .Scroll down to the bottom of the linked page to see the platforms you can install it on.
  19. I ran across this at Missing-Lynx. Beats cannibalizing other kits in the stash.
  20. Do you have an airbrush? Scale Finishes has 1962 Chevrolet Code 914 Nassau Blue Metallic and 1963 Code 914 Monaco Blue Metallic (same colors. different names) lacquer paints. Other than that, you're most likely SOL.
  21. Jeez....Maybe it's just me; but, doesn't anyone think outside of the model box and bother using Google to find an online source other than fleabay? I do. I got my Mr.Color Leveling Thinner 400ml bottles from BJ Hobby Supply a few months ago for 16 bucks each plus shipping.
  22. A hundred bucks for a decal sheet is ridiculous. I've been doing business with this eBay vendor, Police Decal Shop, for years. He has over 1,000 PD vehicle sets available. The quality is superb. Contact him if you can't find what you're looking for.
  23. I have an SMP '61 Imperial with a separate HT from the same vendor that the '62 came from.
  24. One could always use a nail gun to secure a bottle to a tabletop, bench or the perennial favorite, the kneecap.
  25. TANKRAFT sells this Glue Base Holder For Modeling Cements. Rube Goldbergesque technical knowledge not required to construct or operate.
