The owner states this is a Diecast Ertl truck is 1/24 scale. I have never seen one in 1/24 only 1/32. Question Did ERTL produce a 1/24 Scale Grumman delivery truck?

Rather than taking a Gamble, and Damaging your paint job. Why not try painting the stripes onto decal paper. It may be easier to do that, and cut them out as thin as you like, or just make them thin from the start.

Interesting question here,wouldn't epoxy,or superglue with some filler material, work equally as well?

"Because you had to be a Big Shot didn't you"

Those brass parts,are going to look so cool when they are done. Excellent Chris.

Bob the paint is described as,Tamiya TS-73 Clear Orange over Testors Pure Gold laquer.

Did you hear any early Rock n Roll while all of this trouble was happening? Here is a good tip if your at the Airport to catch a flight, and John Denver music starts playing in the background, Don't get on the plane.

Beautiful Car, All that hard work really paid off.

The last truck I built I used the AMT 67 Camaro suspension grafted to the original frame I would do that again but I am short on Camaros.

I think P&S hobbies did make some.

Yeah I get my coupon while waiting in the checkout line.

I believe it is acrylic lacquer, it sands just fine,and I have never had any issues with clear coats, I normally use Duplicolor clear,for my cars.

Think of it this way, 1 can of Citadel is equal to two cans of Tamiya. But cost only $19.00 as I stated before it is as good as Tamiya, the only difference to Me was it goes on a little heavier, and takes less to cover than tamiya. Tamiya brand I feel is just too thin,for Me which made me use multiple coat's

Steven I don't know where your located, however I usually find Citadel products at wargaming stores. There may be one of those in your area. You should be careful visiting these establishments especially on Saturday's, there are a high number of gaming Nerds during that time.

Steven give Citadel brand Skull white primer a try, it has many of the same qualities of Tamiya brand at a better price.

Unless Robert Urich personally autographed the shrink wrap,and someone snapped a photo of Him doing it. It is probably not valuable to have it on. So let her rip Tater chip.

Very cool, did you shorten the bed?

Is there another Kit, that could substitute the Stock front suspension for this Kit?

Super super clean. Very nice Bug.

It only matters when there is a problem. Mainly because automotive paint manufacturers, have No interest in seeing their products used on models, therefore they don't formulate for our needs. For modelers its adapt, and learn sometimes things work out other times not. I have recently attended a John Kosmoski Seminar, John is the original developer of House of Kolor paints, He would like a Painter to use HOK products exclusively from start to finish. This system will price you in to the Hundreds of dollars when all is said and done in supply costs. You will have enough paint to cover maybe 10 Models all in the same color. However if there is a Problem you have Recourse. If you use HOK with store brand reducer" as others have done" and your models look ok ,but slowly start to change to rainbow colors then explode, and you know it was a fault with the paint.You can call John He will listen to your story, then tell you there is nothing He will do for you. because doing so will be admitting fault with the product, and things go South from there. If I go to my paint Jobber He mixes the same colors in the House brand as HOK. Usually in Diamont, or R&M, brands and recommends the generic mid temp reducer for that. Then we are Rockin and a Rollin for way less than HOK.

You should probably be asking your paint jobber these questions. Typically when I use automotive paint. I use a medium temp reducer,and it works well for me usually the generic or house brand of paint is what was mixed. Since we don't know what your spraying, it's hard to say what would, or could work.

The monogram Cop Out kit has slicks like that. The MPC 66 GTO had some hard plastic styrene molded two piece versions as well,those were Pie Crust old school style.

Did the Reissue fall far from tree, In your opinion?

If it was easy Everyone would be doing it.
