I had the same problem. I found in my LHS some decal paper that comes in 8 1/2" x 11" sheets. I think it's made by Microscale but I'm not 100% sure. I used it with the Testor's decal bonder spray and had better results. The white however, is very translucent and it is almost transparent. I ended up cutting some white leftover kit's decals the same size and using them as a base. Hope this helps. Thanks,

Thanks Len!

Hello, Anybody knows if Indycals is still in business? They produce decals for open wheel racing models like Indy cars, F1, CART etc. Their website (Indycals.com) is not working. Thanks,

Hello, I have "googled" to exhaustion but I can't find reference pics of Dan Gurney's 1968 AAR Eagle #48 raced at the Indy 500. He finished 2nd in that race. All I can find are moving pics from far away. No luck on engine pics. Any help will be greatly appeciated. Thanks,

Hello, This is the Best of Show winner in the 5th Caribbean Scale Auto Expo built by Rey Franco. Local hospital was receiving a lot of people with dislocated jaws and drool had to be wiped from the table all day...... Rey started with a Fujimi Enthusiast kit and added scratchbuilt items, Model Factory Hiro wheels, and other white metal and photoetch parts. It took about 2 years to complete. BRAVO Rey!!!!!

De aqui 'pa Hollywood!!!!

Another important tip: PREVIEW PREVIEW PREVIEW. If it doesn't show in the preview it will not show in the post. When you use the "Share Photo" link in Fotki, sometimes you get a space before the http and after the .jpg. That confuses the system and the image will not show. Make sure there are no spaces before or after the link ,especially if you are doing manual img tags. Thanks,

Congratulations my friend! I could feel it in your voice when we talked on the phone Thanks,

Marcos, Stay tuned. I'm working on that.... Regards,

Thanks JL, Here is a link with the thread on the progress of mine: C6R Progress thread Thanks,

Don't let that disappoint you. Despite it's simplified layout, it looks great when finished. If you look at the real car, you can't see much unless the body is taken apart. Yes, I'm biased (very heavily) but I think this kit is very good because it covers a big range of modelers. Novice builders will not be intimidated, more experienced builders can do it quickly with good results and expert builders can go crazy with it. Have fun with it! Thanks, Ismael "The C6R Corvette guy" Gonzalez

Sorry gang, The meds we use on Fanfan (Mad Slammer) are not having any effect, especially after his Jeep, H2 and small Hummer won their classes at the show We are trying to tie him down but he's a big guy..... The show is now history and we all had a great time. Thanks,

Duplicolor offers some lacquer products. In fact, their new body shop line is supposed to be acrylic lacquer. But the touch up spray cans, especially the older ones, are some sort of hot enamel. They seem to have several types of formulations, probably depending on changes in regulations or something. Thanks,

and yet a few more: I think these should do it for mine for now..... Sorry for overwhelming the thread but I couldn't resist. Thanks,

... and a few more.....

Are you sure? Beware of your thoughts, my young padawan: You can also see hundreds of Corvette models at ScaleCorvettes.com Here are some of mine:

Hello, The body has been polished. I LOVE LACQUER!!!!!! The paint effect is weird. It looks bright red pearl in direct sunlight, wine color if it's a bit overcast, and purple-ish in artificial light. I am very happy with the polishing process. slightly overcast under shade direct sunlight On this pic you can barely see the pearl effect in the C pillar. Unfortunately the model will not be ready for the show this weekend. What do you think? Thanks,
