  1. great looking build.
  2. Outstanding job on your build .
  3. my go to flat black is Rustoleum. i have never had a problem with a different sheen, sometimes tacky or doesn’t dry. i live in the deep south of Louisiana 30 miles off the gulf. down here you walk outside at daylight in the summer months (that's about year around) your soaking wet in 30 minuets. that's why i spray inside with a vented spray booth. so your problem may be weather related..new can i shake 3 minuets. no more no less. after that anytime i use it on a regular basis 2 minuets no less. if it sets over a month back to the 3 minuet shake. you got to because they big cans..
  4. Lee its one of them things you just gotta sand a little at a time.. the old AMT molds are worn out.
  5. been many years ago since i built the General. i cant recall having a problem. i take it you have one of the new release kits. i have had problems with other kit windshields. this is how you fix it. take your sanding stick and start sanding a little at a time where the windshield is tight checking it as you are sanding. you may have to sand both sides , bottom & top to get it to fit right. doing this your windshield will fit way better..
  6. i always loved doing glue bombs. you sure got that one going your way..sure is looking good..
  7. i'm in the process of building a 3D Chevy 5500 service truck with crane , air compressor & Miller Welder on it. hrs of sanding even after i took the #0000 steel wool to it. on the second day of sanding this showed up (takes about 2 weeks to get) my sanding blocks from AliExpress..what a life saver.. if you dont have a set get you one they well worth the money. also ck out all their hobby tools. everything i have ordered has been top quality. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3256807604374230.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.23.2f2c1802aa6hY4
  8. you dont have to spray the Revell Chrome over a black surface. you will still get the same shine..i live in the deep south of Louisiana and the Chrome i can handle it in 2 days with out any clear coat..
  9. you can clear coat over the Revell Chrome Paint with Spaz Stix with no promblem.
  10. 1/25 scale 3D Printed 4x4 Ford F 350 Super Duty Welding Truck
  11. a lot of the ripples can be taken out with #0000 steel wool . then the bigger ones with 4-600 grit sand paper followed up with the steel wool. the big nasty ones lol like i got on my 5500 chevy truck its body filler time. no way around it. i do care how much filler primer you spray they still gonna be their..the last 3D truck i just finished was a Ford 350 Super Duty with very little prep work. so get ready to do body work. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0018SCH2W?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
  12. great job..i wish i knew that paint was around some years ago. i did one using a brush to go all over the roof dapping the paint on and it turned out great also.but your way would been so much easier and way less time..
  13. very nice build Ken.
  14. they are 3 suppliers that carry them...Jamie but you will have to ask for it as it's not in the catalog. moluminum ....PapyHobby COLLECTION PAPYHOBBY – PAPYHOBBY.COM - and Redtinc on eBay. this is only one part of the ROP's so look at his other parts to get the rest of it..its what i used on mine along with the engine covers, tracks & grill...https://www.ebay.com/itm/145935096202?itmmeta=01JB2XWS6DKKDKQHVPQRYH6Q6Q&hash=item21fa68d98a:g:U4gAAOSwP65kIFya .. the first 2 may take up to 2 months to get..the last one in less than 2 weeks..
