    i always use MCW enamels,and only use their lacquer when the color i want is not available in enamel always liked that ford yellow color and am regretting not painting at least one of my 2 mustang builds in that color,i used the poly green and red in enamel,your build is superb and well done!

    great build,..i must admit i never seen a chain used as a driveshaft saftey loop!,..that would never fly with a NHRA tech inspector,lol

    i would not cut MCW enamels with mineral spirit,as a matter of fact they dont recommend you use mineral spirits,i use lacquer thinner,store bough cheapo stuff,or my go to is mr color levelling thinner

    the part number you gave is a enamel as by the letter E after the part number i have hand brushed their enamel line and it works great (mostly interior stuff),never tried to hand brush a body though
  15. Nicholas
    i use MCW paints as my go to paints,mostly the enamel line,i also use their hardner with it always drys within 24 hrs,..not forever and a day like the old testor ,i dont use a dehydrator either i use there 1-k clear,and also add hardner to that,..gives a wicked shine/finish!,..the mcw enamel paints come out so well for me that sometimes i dont need clear,and do not clear it after paint,hope this helps.

    my go to"s for lacquer paint are super clean,works great on tamiya paint,and works fast,and 93% alcohol ,but for enamel paints (my MCW brand sprayed with hardner and clear) i used brake fluid but it took forever and a day to loosen the paint!...next up is easy off oven cleaner!
  17. Nicholas
    AWESOME THANKS!.will give oven cleaner a try using my paint respirator mask and gloves,..thanks for the tip with resin also!
  18. Nicholas
    yes ,as others have stated my two i ordered ,one from mega hobby has shipped,and hobby nut will have it in stock today/tommorow,i have seen a couple listed on e bay already also
  19. Nicholas
    does any body have a go to stripper for enemals (MCW),applied with hardner and clearcoat?,i had used brake fluid in the past but it took almost a month!...rather not wait that long again,maybe i need a different brand,type of brake fluid,i used dot 3?
  20. Nicholas
    just ordered mine from mega hobby,also have one on order from hobby nut models,...gotta have two right???
  21. Nicholas
    how do you get a hold of him?
  22. Nicholas
    i have recently ventured into the vinyl tops ,i used thin.025 styrene glued to the model for the trim/overlaps, then use MCW either black or white textured spray,comes out looking great.
  23. Nicholas
    looking good!!
  24. Nicholas
    any truth to this rumor?...i have been looking on you tube/facebook and all around to see if its true,but cant find a thing?
  25. Nicholas
    is that a rebop of the earlier revell kit that came out in the 90's?..or is it all new?..i have the earlier version with the pic of the real car on the box and was wondering whats the differance?
