  1. seems like you are doing a fine job of a vinyl roof start,I use .015-.025 size plastruct rods,then I spray It with MCW textured finishes,they have black,white colors,its lacquer and goes on easy and dries super quick and looks great!
  2. Mike from MCW moved down south but still has the resin lighweight interior,...only down side is since his move the resin stuff got way backlogged and he's about 4 plus months to catch up!,he shut down the resin ordering on his web site so you cant even browse for the time being!..btw very nice build you got there! I have the parts on my shelf and the starliner kit to use the chassis that someday I will get around to building.
  3. i think its the white color primer is the issue,every time i use the duplicolor white primer it comes out like that, last time i used duplicolor white primer was about 8 yrs ago i stopped using it and switched to tamiya,must be the pigment in the white i guess?
  4. very sorry for your loss, those builds look great! i was tempted to get the harts conversion for my 70 amt kit,but decided to leave it as a 70 instead of a 71
  5. thats looking great!
  6. i use mcw paints all the time and sometimes their lacquer line when i can find the color i want in enamel,i use the enamel hardner only to speed up my drying times as i dont use a dehydrator,i also use the enemal clear a lot(looks yellowish in color in the bottle)as well as their 2k style lacquer clear and i have used the hardner with the enamel clear,but it seemed to backfire as it took months to dry and the paint was still a little soft?i wrote to mike at mcw and he did not recomend using hardner with their enamel clear,only lacquer thinner like mr color or their mcw brand as that will speed up the drying time a bit
  7. if its who i think it is on e bay they combine shipping,i also buy direct from mcw,it ends up being the same cost except when you buy directly from mcw they have a full stock and you dont have to wait to get the paint colors you want
  8. really cool project,cant wait to see it when its done!
  9. i bought some from him back last summer,very nice stuff just wait for him to respond to your e mail
  10. i have one of them on order from them and so far nothing yet?they offer some excuse on their website
  11. i just bought one from e bay for $29.99 got it last week,...now the 2 i pre ordered from 2 different online hobby stores months ago im still waiting for.....the ones i see on e-bay are now in the$40$50 range!!!
  12. looking forward to see this build,walt siler would be proud!
  13. Yes the 442 has a Rochester Q-jet by fireball I have some other carbs 440-6-pack carbs I have yet to use his stuff is very nice
  14. thanks! after looking at them i think i will use thinner styrene or sand them down more,but once i learned how to do them woth styrene/textured paint i applied them on a lot more builds!
  15. Some race builds I have been working on,.. takes a Hella lot of time to finish one of these, at least for me anyways scratch built rollcages on some futtaratractions and 3-d parts , trying to build small tire racing stuff.
  16. my god split dominators on a surf wagon,love it!...also like the clear scoop,great job,well done!
  17. 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!
  18. i have the monogram 1/24 t/a kit,but i also recently bought the revell street burner 1/25 scale kit,the body looks real good to me on this kit,but i have not started it yet,i have bought some harts parts for the monogram kit,its the r/t hood to update it to a r/t challenger
  19. cool build! i like it!...thats one of my favorite kits by johan ever since i bought one back in my youth from my local hobby store for like $3 dollars and 15 cents lol now they are like $60-plus on e bay! like the color!
  20. holy cow a tobin arp rod hone,..used one for many years love the detail on the machine shop bridge port lathe quick way valve grinde rottler surfacer boring bar,all that stuff is sweet looks cool! i really need to see the whole shop diorama!
  21. yes i mist water in my spray booth then run it for about5/10-mins before painting (usually run it while i mix my paint)
  22. 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
