I'm hoping some of you might have more pics of this porsche from the recent radwood show in san francisco. These are all the pics i have of it but its one i'd like to build just beacuse its not done in the purists style. In particular I'm hoping somebody has pics of the front end paint. I'll be using a monogram kit for it all pics from speedhunters

Revell parts replacement

theres an address on the box and instructions -
turned out very nice in green. i may have to add one to the stash now. If you have a decent art supply shop nearby archiatects drawing pens are useful for the rubber around chrome. They come in sizes down to 0.1 mm and are safe to use under acrylic clears. I'm going to be using them when i do my next mk1 golf as a gl spec. The pens aren't the cheapest but as long as you aren't rough on them they will last a while.

automobile assosiation (uk) decals
stitchdup replied to stitchdup's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I dont have access to a printer so I'd be happy to trade some 3d printing for decals if anybody is interested -
if you are in a well ventilated room with good airflow you should be ok but its better to be safe than sorry. those paper covid masks are no use, its best to have one that seals your nose and mouth as one, and replacable filters are a good idea, as is size adjusters to keep the seal good. I use one from sealey tools that was around £25 a few years ago and when i'm not using it, it gets stored in the bag to keep it clean. I use it for all sanding, painting and stronger fumed modelling stuff. I have emphysemia caused by working in a bodyshop years ago and i deeply regret never wearing masks then cos its no nice waking up choking so be safe

Aftermarket tire decals - stay sticky and glossy
stitchdup replied to Smitty's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
you may have to replace the decals and possibly rotate the tyres to use the inner surface. when you sanded the tyres it would have made the surface contact area no longer smooth so they probably wont be holding on. decals like a smooth gloss surface to stick best, then they can be overcoated with the finishing clear coats in whichever finish you like. I've made the same mistakes and was given this advice by another member and it works for me. -
you can get packs of 20 assorted rolls on amazon for less than 5 bucks including shipping

the blackboxstl engine could be a good start for a 356 pushrod engine. it already has the correct shape fan housing and twin carbs. the fan housing is one of the add ons for the base engine by blackboxstl

if you get the carpet tape version it wont lift as long as the surfaces are clean. the normal double sided tape tends to be for lighter things like scrapbooking. It doesn't hold heavier iten that well while the carpet tape will stick a carpet to walls and keep holding on.
