    Welcome to the hobby. I've been building for around 30 years and I'm still learning. Your question has been answered pretty much with the same answers I would give. Except maybe saying easy off oven cleaner in the yellow can removes paint too. I sometimes use primer, and sometimes I don't. This Mack cab was painted early this morning with a lacquer paint. One coat no primer.

    Thanks for all the help guys. This is actually the first time in 30 years of building I ever had this problem. I have had the dreaded paint wrinkle alligator skin effect many times in the past though. Here is the same piece now. Still needs wet sanding.

    First off I hope everyone is staying safe here from Covid19. Because of the quarantine I have once again came out of retirement from building models. I just spent a ton of money getting some semi trucks and trailers to build. Now to my problem. I can't get my paint to stick. I keep getting the results as seen in the pic. Any help would be appreciated.

    Looks like we have the same ideas. I have all of these to start building.
  5. James Maynard
    Very nice. I'm about to start building one of these myself. Mine is going to be the Coca-Cola version complete with trailer.

    Thanks lol. I've been collecting games for a long time too.
  7. James Maynard
    Thanks guys. And I started building models when I was about 10. So around 1988 or 89 probably. I used to have way more than this. But some got thrown away by accident when we moved.

    Here are most of my builds and some others. I have gotten help (parts) from many of you here and I figured I would show you all what you have helped with. If anyone knows they have helped me or sent me parts take a bow. If a car looks dirty or has bad paint or mix matched parts it is on purpose as I like the junk look.

    Very nice Camaro there. I would like to see it when it's finished.
  10. James Maynard
    Looking good there. I have one of these I've got to get around to finishing too. Mine is sublime green and with the interior gonna be white seats and door panels with a black dash and carpet.

    Update. I got my parts today and I must say I am very pleased. The hood for the Revell 1/24th scale 70 Dodge Challenger that you get from Harts Resin looks so much better than the hoods that actually come with the kit. I HIGHLY suggest them!
  12. James Maynard
    I got an email for them Saturday saying they shipped out my parts. I just wish they did send order confirmation emails.
  13. James Maynard
    Okay thanks. I just don't want to have shelled out $25 and not get what I ordered. I've had it happen before. And I'll try that with the decals when I get home.
  14. James Maynard
    Is there anyone here that has ordered parts from Harts Resin before? I placed an order over a week ago and all I have to show for it is a PALPAY receipt. They never contacted me at all and still haven't heard from them in over a week. I just want to know if this is normal with them. Also what's a good way to remove decals from a body without ruining the paint?

    These are 2 of the best traders on the site. I was very pleased with our trade. I hope to trade with them again and again. DRIPTROIT 71 JTalmage.

    Does anyone here know of a site that sells reproduction windows/glass for model kits? I have a few cars I need glass for and I've checked Modelhaus and Harts resin. Neither of them have what I need. I need the windows for a 69 Dodge Daytona 500 Charger, a 1974 Dodge Charger and the Revell 1969 Dodge Charger. Also the 1974 Roadrunner. If anyone knows of a site or has any of these windows you will part with please let me know.
  17. James Maynard
    I sent a PM to both of you.

    As the title says this question is about the Revell 1/24th scale 70 Chevelle 3 in 1. I have 4 of these kits 2 molded in blue (2 different shades) and 2 molded in white. I have some pieces that I got from ebay that looks like one that was molded in red. Was this kit ever molded in red? If it was does anyone have a complete or nearly complete one that was molded in red that they would get rid of? Some one please send me a message with any info or possible car. Thanks.
  19. James Maynard
    Thanks for the info. I believe you are right about it being a T-bird hood.
  20. James Maynard
    I just got a box of parts and cars from ebay. There are some loose parts that don't go to any of the cars there were in the auction. This weird hood is one of them. It looks like it might go to a Vega. It was molded in red. It's the one in the picture that's bluish grey and has the letters CAF on it. The others I know what they are. If anyone knows what the hood goes to or if you need the hood just let me know.
  21. James Maynard
    Yes like the after shave. It's in the movie Over The Top. I have a truck like in the movie and a while van trailer hooked to it I just want the Brute logo to go on the side of the trailer. It's basicly just a bottle of Brute on the sides.
  22. James Maynard
    All of my trailers are 1/25th scale. I was wondering if there's any like stickers or something I could get. One trailer I wanted to make it from the movie Over The Top. The Brute trailer in the movie. I have the trailer I just need to know how to get a logo like that for it.
  23. James Maynard
    I'm not sure where to put this one. But as the title says I'm asking what's the best thing to use for putting names on the sides of semi van trailers. I hate the decals of fake companies that come with the trailer kits. I want real company names on my trailers but I can't figure out what to use. If anyone has any ideas please PM me. Thanks.
  24. James Maynard
    Ah yes thank you. I believe you are right about them being slotted aluminum. Does anyone have the 1/25th scale sets of them that they will get rid of?
  25. James Maynard
    The wheels on the right side of this picture (the ones of just 2) What are they called and does anyone have any that they would get rid of? I don't even have these I found the picture on ebay.
