  1. Using incorrect terminology is fairly prevalent. It's the same as when someone doesn't understand the difference between "dry"/"cure" or "sprue"/"spruce".
  2. You should have informed Ronnie about the FUBAR'ed casting and missing parts and requested a replacement immediately after receipt..
  3. That's pretty wild stuff.
  4. Better grab it soon. Testors has discontinued the entire Aztek line, paints/airbrushes/accessories.
  5. It's just the Polar Lights kit relabeled as AMT.
  6. Nah, I'm good. I was impressed with what looked like a warehouse full of kits in the background of one of your pictures.
  7. This was originally released by Monogram in 1965. It's 1/24 scale, not 1/25. Never mind. Long day already.
  8. Considering that this is a full resin kit, the price is reasonable.
  9. Dave, are you planning to open a hobby shop?
  10. It's available for pre-order now and will be shipping by the end of this month or early October, along with the 1/48 Vintage Sinclair Gas truck and box scale P-3A Orion.
  11. He didn't because it ain't happening. This rumor was debunked here: The only paints being discontinued are Model Master International Military & Figure Enamels and Aztek acrylics.
  12. If Jack were smart, he would have stated that his yard was his favorite recreation area.
  13. EL panels, tape and wire emit almost zero heat. For certain hobby applications, like sci-fi spacecraft, it can't be beat. I'm going to use EL panels and tape in my Moebius Jupiter 2 kits.
  14. Consider EL tape. Mount it around the upper inner perimeter of the display case.
  15. "Moebius out of modeling?" If that is what some are led to believe, this is a myopic viewpoint. Even if Moebius ceased future production of automotive kits and continued with its sci-fi range, it's still in the business. Just not producing what some would prefer.
  16. I posted that same article on a FB group page last week. Something to ponder.
  17. Arboreal surstromming.
  18. Active Powersports has it for $8.36. JP, it's available on ebay UK.
  19. Steve, I'll take 20 minutes and done with ELO over overnight, or longer, with them other products.
  20. Testors ELO takes off every kind of paint and primer. I've been using it for years. Brush it on, but do not immerse the parts. It starts working in about 20 minutes. The paint begins to lift and you can use a toothbrush to scrub it off. Once the paint is removed, wash the part with dishwashing liquid in warm water.
  21. Get a set of dedicated scribes and saw blades. X-acto blades are too thick to obtain a narrow cut. HQT Tools makes stainless scribe and saw sets. The kerf is only .3 mm, which will allow a precise, tight fit of the new panels. The sets are available from UMM-USA for seven bucks each. Unlike No. 11 blades, the scriber tips don't break off in the middle of a cut and don't get dull.
  22. Still has that swell convertible tub.
