I have already put the model in a box with a dryer sheet, and sealed it up good. I could smell the smoke smell as soon as I picked-up the box from the mailbox. It is really a shame in many cases. A lot of individuals post that the model is coming from a smoke free house. It is a nice model, but just stinks badly. Thanks to everyone for your ideas.

Thanks, some really great ideas.

Is there any procedure I can follow to get rid of cigarette smoke smell out of a model. I just received a model from Ebay and it smells like a smoke stack. I would really like to get rid of the smell, but I am clueless. Help me if you can.

Nice clean models. Only problem is that the video is out of focus.

The Cadillac is super cool. Love the suicide doors.

Thanks for the info on the roof,.

Very nice and clean. Could you elaborate on the Testors spray system for the roof. Thanks.

G all the way.

I got a set from Arrowhead Aluminum Accessories. Really good stuff.

Congratulations and goodbye sleep

You don't have to look any farther than this board. Previously posted by Casey: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=71864\\ I believe this covers just about all the aftermarket sites.

Got this in the mail today. Won it on Ebay.

Bob is most correct. MAD distributors are great. I have been buying MAD products for many years. Some of the very best items available, and the price is right.

Nice collaboration.

Darn good job. I also like the two tone paint job. Real classy.

What Mike G. said.

Yea I can understand your wrapping your head around the 60k grit. I have in addition to the regular 3200 - 12,000 sanding film, I have a set of sanding film of 16,000 to 60,000. It is a lot different from the previous set of 3200 to 12,000. It really smooths out the surface but it does not seem to get me the shine I like with the for mentioned sanding grits. It is all in personal preference. As far as wet sanding goes, I don't know the actual reasoning behind the process, but I would imagine wet sanding just seems to be much better than dry sanding. Also when a 1:1 is painted, they wet sand the finish in order to get the high quality shine.

Very nice. You have a real talent, as well as living up the road from me. I live in Columbia.

Super dooper. I like the ice blocks. Neat all the way around.

Sidney, what you need to have is 3200, 3600, 4000, 6000, 8000, 12,000 sanding film in the wet and dry format. If you do not have those I can send you some.

That a real nice looking paint job. It all depends on how you want it to look. I think it also depends on how many coats you put on and if you use a clear on it. I usually found out that the fewer coats you put on, makes it easier to burn through. Putting on some clear really helps you out. I am probably am way off, but this works out for me.

Steve, let us know how the quality of this kit is. I have been pondering on the thought of getting one.

I don't believe you have anything to worry about. You did beautifuly. I am an old fart with lots of problems, and you got me an lots of others beat out.

I would like to see a breakdown if you please.
