  1. I've used it for years with no adverse effects on parts. It doesn't attack opaque styrene (white, grey, etc.). Clear polystyrene has a different composition and debonder isn't recommended. BSI debonder, on the other hand, has the tendency to melt softer styrene.
  2. Plamoz on FB.
  3. Don't sweat it, Don. Honest omission when reading thread titles. BTW, this kit (No. 155) was manufactured by Airmodel, a German company, in 1974. Amodel is a Ukrainian manufacturer which produces only injection molded kits.
  4. I use it and it works as advertised. It's a transparent red gel which doesn't run. Place some on the area to be debonded, wait until it dries and remove the residue with your fingers, brush and rinse the parts off in water.
  5. Exito Model Shop in Poland is a great store. Large kit selection with good prices and super low shipping. Shipping time is 1 1/2 to two weeks.
  6. I was curious about it which is why I asked you earlier today. I didn't think members' email addresses were visible in their profiles and I wondered how you got mine. I marked it as spam and it just vanished. Didn't even make it to the spam folder.
  7. Novus 3 is too aggressive (abrasive) to polish a painted surface. It is formulated to remove deep scratches from clear or colored plastic/acrylic like aircraft canopies and tinted sunvisorsvisors on flight helmets.Once the deep scratches are removed, Novus 2, then 1' are used to polish the surface and remove any remaining scratches and swirl marks. Try Novus 2 if you need to polish out orange peel or fisheyes; or, micromesh pads. Novus contains silicone, which prevents any additional coats of paint or clear from adhering properly. You can remove the residue by washing the part(s) in warm water and dishwashing liquid and gently scrub the parts with a soft nylon toothbrush.
  8. Paralysis by overanalysis. The cars I specifically mentioned were all designed on the same '64-'67 A-Body platform and share identical 115" wheelbases, as do the '64-67 LeMans/Tempest/GTO. 1968 and later A-Body vehicles don't apply because the chassis was shortened. '70='72 Monte Carlos were built on G-Body platforms and had a 116" wheelbase.
  9. Roger that. Kitbashing to achieve desired results is a long-established method in this hobby.
  10. Short of scratchbuilding one yourself, probably not. This might be a stretch; but, check out the AMT '70 WIldcat interior for a comparison.
  11. '66 Wildcat interior pics.
  12. Ask somebody in "Where's Waldo?".
  13. "A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work if it is not open.” ― Frank Zappa
  14. I posted a link for Top Studio; but, I believe he has me blocked. His loss.
  15. Top Studio makes various hose joints, hex fittings, etc. Excellent quality resin.
  16. Apparently, they're done. The proverbial fork has been stuck in them.
  17. Update as of 9:30 A.M.: Now, you can get some.
  18. Although, making unwarranted assumptions is, the "if" notwithstanding.
  19. A couple of things about this. Online shops aren't the best places to get this information. Pandemic-shmandemic. Not everything revolves around or, is/was affected by, this topic. Lastly, did anyone even think of contacting Chris Hales directly to verify this? I did. Here's his reply from earlier this afternoon:
  20. It's still listed as OOS as of five minutes ago.
  21. It's more of opinion than fact. Revell paints are very good. I've been using both the Email (enamel) and Aqua Color acrylics for just about 40 years and never had a problem with either.
