Thanks Dave! That's what I needed....

Thanks Bob! I thought so. Your Miura is beautiful. You won't believe me, but I actually thought of that color scheme for mine :shock: Now I need to come up with a different one :wink: Thanks,

Hello, I have a Hasegawa Miura SV I would like to work on. It seems the engine is not visible at all once finished. Is it possible to build it without the engine? Maybe build the engine out in a stand or something... From the instructions it seems the engine is used to support suspension components. I need to take a closer look at it but thought of asking just in case anyone has gone thru this before.... :wink: Thanks

Hello, I need a PE script that would suggest a performance modified or enhanced vehicle, but the model will be a curbside. I need something like "turbo" or "supercharged" or "mega" or "special" you get the idea. I think I saw a PE set with some of those. I only need one. Any ideas? Thanks,

Cool! My favorite prancing horse in my favorite car color... Looking forward to see this one done.....

Cool color and a clean build !

simply WOW! I will finally contribute to the Model Kings efforts! That's the first MK issue I "must have".

Ahhh, One of my all time favorite cars! No wonder I can't find Testor's Italian Red. You have them all!

Ahhh, one of my dream cars from my teen years. I even tried to do a painting of one in my wall Nice job!

Cool model of one of the least popular Ferraris Somehow I always thought the tail lights say Japan, not Italy :wink:

Never seen that one before. It kind of reminds me of the Lotus Elan. Nice color choice....

BORICUA!!!! Great job on it! Love the color. That kit must be one of the most populars ever.... Saludos,

Just like the neighbor kid in The Incredibles would say, (extending my arms) "THAT IS TOTALLY WICKED!!!!"

Cool! but why the rush? It takes me that long to put the first coat of primer Love those wheels by the way.....

That's one of my favorite builds from you so far........

Cool looking Cayman Matt! I should have mine finished in a few days....

ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY IMPRESSIVE work!!! WOW!

Cool sinister look!

Looking good Chris. This Fujimi red plastic does not seem to have any serious bleeding problems. Nice choice of wheels. My Cayman S should be finished in the next couple of days. Thanks, Ismael

Great job on a great looking car! Keep 'em coming! I have that kit in my stash. I hope to work on it soon..... Thanks,

You are late Post away!!!

Bob, As I've said before, I admire your ability and eye for visual impact. They both look GREAT!!! Thanks,

Rdean58!!!!! Welcome! Looking forward to see all the Ferraris (and other builds) I've been told you've done.... Thanks,

Hello, Before we continue, yes I know, this is an aircraft but the plastic, the paint, the glue, the airbrush and most importantly, the topic to be addressed are the same as for cars, so get over it Testors Model Masters Buffing metalizers are very popular. They are very useful to replicate different shades of metals. But they are also very delicate and can easily wear off with handling. That's why there is Model Master metalizer sealer. Pretty much clear for the metalizers. I've used it in the past with good results. It allows the "metalized" surfaces to be handled, masked for painting etc. HOWEVER: I'm working on a model of an all aluminum unpainted aircraft and in order to replicate all the different shades of the 1:1 (from dull to chrome-like polished) I'm not only using metalizers, but other Model Master metallics as well. If you look at the 2 tail fins, they look like chrome. That's not BMF, not even Alclad. That's good old Model Master Chrome silver, airbrushed over aluminum. But since it takes about 2 decades to dry, after some heavy UV exposure I sealed it with metalizer sealer. It worked fine and looked right, but a few days later, I masked it for additional painting and the Tamiya tape pulled the clear right off. I put a strip of Tamiya tape over the remaining sealer and it was easily removed without damaging the paint. It surrended without resistance So bottom line: Testors Model Master Metalizer Sealer does NOT stick to metallic enamels even if the bottle says for metalizers and "other" metallic finishes....... We can now return to our regularly scheduled program, already in progress...... By the way, the wings will be BMF... :wink: Thanks,

This is probably the last in-progress update. I'm tired of polishing. I'll leave it as is.... ....and yes, I have a stupid grin in my face Thanks,
