Some nice 19" tires; http://www.eightyone81.com/p010-dunlop-dzii-tires-set-19/ http://www.scaleproduction.de/product_info.php?info=p2145_19--dunlop-direzza-low-profile-rubber-tires--narrow---wide-.html Some nice 18" tires; http://www.scaleproduction.de/product_info.php?info=p405_18--slicks---3-.html http://www.scaleproduction.de/product_info.php?info=p404_18--slicks.html http://www.clearlyscale.com/product/ultra-low-profile-19-5-21-5mm-tires-set

This thread is amazing! I swapped out the libtard nozzle/cap with Tamiyas, waaayyy better!

Awesome, thanks! Seems to run $20 for 1qt at jet.com.

Cool deal, thanks Monsigor Bill. I've tested Future and it seems to work wonderfully as long as its totally dry. I think it's a perfect sealer and probably required on any plastic now a days to avoid crazing. I've noticed filler/primer/bondo is hot as well which is why I want to use Future initially to created a protective barrier. I'm still on the fence on this scale model building fromage. Some times its way fun, other times a nightmare.

I can totally verify that Super Clean works way better than Purple Power. But the best for me seems to be 91% or 99% Isopropyl Alcohol and/or ELO.

Hi, I used some new primer and it crazed the body of my wonderful Ford GTX-1. I was going to sand, brush on some Pledge Floor Care as a sort of filler and use some Plastikote Spot filler I just got. Then rinse and repeat so to speak. Am I on the right track?

Another review. Seems like a cool kit;

Thanks man, much appreciated.

Hi, I can't seem to find a built AMT Piranha drag car, has any one built this car? I'd love to see some pics.

I would have chosen LeMans Gulf colors, oh well....

Hi, I'm curious, you have an engine donor but it comes with one yes? Based on some literature, the 300CE is not the correct engine as the Pagani has an AMG Bi-Turbo V12? I'm kinda confused.

Wow, absolutely KILLER build. And I just love your use of the printer tech, totally awesome. I def see those in my tool set some day soon.

Well, if it helps I always thin my Tamiya paints with Tamiya thinner. The metallic paints need a bit more thinning. And I always use a palette.

This is an absolute insane and inspiring build. Very fun to watch.

I've been waiting for this! Thanks for the post! That's 10 trees I count. Aoshima is very very good.

Wow cool, I'll definitely open up my empty ones to re use the glass balls.

Progress looking a-sha-weeet!

Interesting, the similar MM version is ~$13 were as the Archer is ~$18. So much for mark ups I suppose.

BTW Norm has a HUGE catalog. I just found his Fotki page. So get a bag of popcorn, sit back, relax and enjoy; http://public.fotki.com/crstan/replican-and-miniat/replicas-and-miniat/?view=roll#1 I don't know how he keeps track of and has all these molds for his stuff. It's mind blowing!

I bet Norm@Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland would know. I'll PM you his number.

Thought to post this lil nugget; http://www.micromark.com/ho-scale-decals-with-raised-3d-rivets-and-other-surface-details,9968.html It's basically a sheet of various 3D rivets you simply cut and lay down. Also, this is simply rivet decals which is cool too; http://umm-usa.com/onlinestore/product_info.php?products_id=7012&osCsid=a9dca3694d7b21eea2ade5946031319b I think both have there applications. Now in terms of tweezers and I'm picky and have used a few cheapos, the Tamiya HG line is awesome. Great weight in hand and I used em to pick a small black ant off an ice cube out of my Gin-N-Tonic the other day; http://www.tamiyausa.com/items/tools-accessories-80/tools-74000/hg-angled-tweezers-74047

Welp, I felt a bit more comfortable going with Detail Master and Parts by Park hoses as those hoses seem to mold to some shape which I'd like to have. Will see whats actually better when applied.

Awesomeness! Thanks dude, I do know the exact dims. I've the perfect rubber hose used as a wire insulator which is too stiff.

Hi, Would any one happen to know of a source for ~5mm diameter flexible rubber hose of any color? Preferably gray, black or silver. This is similar to those found in the Accurate Miniatures M8B kit. That rubber is perfect in terms of flex.

OMG what a build and what a car! BTW I'm a fan of James Coburn for sure.
