What are the pros and cons of each. Most importantly, can you get just as glossy of a finish from Acrylic as the other two? If so, I am gonna use Acrylic on my 1/12 Testarossa. I want the finish to be like a mirror. Can the testor's acrylic do that for me? Acrylic must have some cons, because is is sooooo much easier to clean up and dries much, much faster. There has to be some drawbacks (i.e. not as glossy of a finish) or no one in their right mind would use lacquer or enamel since those as so much messier and take forever to dry and cure, especially enamels. TIA

I have the testor's airbrush, the cheap kind that you can get at walmart. Do you really need to thin the paint before spraying? I have just done some samples on a piece of plastic...the paint seems to come out fine just right out of the jar without thinning-even a nice mist. What does thinning the paint do for the paint job anyway? I am a complete novice and am clueless on stuff like this.

Will pretty much at medium thickness superglue work as a filler? As far as the strakes go, I just dont know how to paint them. I may just paint the car black to make the flaws on that area less noticeable. I'd rather paint the car red though.

I am fairly new to model building, and I just bought a Revelle 1/12 Ferrari Testarossa. The Testarossa was my favorite car as a kid, and I want this model to be perfect. 1.) How do you paint inside the strakes behind the door on a Testarossa? Those are usually a flat black. And that is a hard spot to reach. Its pretty much too small to mask with tape-I tried it. I have read that you should always glue all body parts (spoilers, vents, etc) on before painting. Do you really have to? Especially when its a car like this that has some narrow areas to get into. 2.) Interior flocking. Where do you get it? Hobby Lobby and Michael's don't carry it. Who does (names of places)? 3.) Like most models, there are some tiny flaws from the mold it came out of. What would work as a filler other than a plastic model filler? I don't live in a huge city, and finding a specialty item like plastic model filler or flock is very difficult. Would a regular epoxy or glue work? These flaws are VERY small. They may not even show up through several coats of paint. 4.) Has anyone built a Testarossa (any scale) on this forum and wouldn't mind sharing some pics? I see a lot of 360s and 430s, but no TRs. I didn't see any on the other forums. TIA
