Thanks guys. Rusty is correct, I used a diode. I don't know if it can be reissued. The tool morphed into a sedan delivery I believe then into the Dark Shadows Barnabas Collins Van.
This is a build of mine from the late 90s, maybe early 2000s. AMT'S 32 Chevrolet. It has yellowed a bit, painted with Testors light blue and enamel clear.
All I was trying to do was compliment the builder on being the first person I have seen do something that adds to the accuracy and neatness of the build.
Excellent! And a HUGE kudos for being the FIRST one I've seen to take the time to fill the seam where the roof and body meet, makes a world of difference! I will probably be dechroming mine as well. Going to try to fit a Pontiac OHC6 in mine.
