    Thank you Chris, and oh boy about the cost! I can hide the 1/25 kits from the wife but at the MFH price it is impossible. You can hide $40 bucks but when it is $650 or higher man it’s tough! I have the Dan Gurney F1 MFH car and my buddy Mark just bought me the MFH 917/30 can am car. He is holding on to it for me till I come up with the money. He buys at discount prices but even at that it is still very expensive. 

    Those are some cool cars!!

    I need a friend like yours, saving money no mater how much is a good thing ?

  2. Chris, when you have the time to try out your Iwata eclipse, you may never go back to any other air brush. I have been using mine for ten years or more. 

    I got mine for doing RC car bodies. It works great with all kinds of paints and once you get the hang of the duel action,you do some amazing stuff with it.

    Oh by the way all of your guys builds look amazing ? 

    look forward on the next set of updates 

  3. So... After thinking I was going to get some major part accomplished on this build. I got out smarted by the instructions.

    The main body, has two parts. So I had everything painted and was applying decals thinking that all I need to do was attach the bottom portion to the main structure. Well....Nope!

    The big number decal that sits on the side is too big for the main structure. So I needed to attach the bottom part. After trying to do this it all went to hell!

    I glued the two half’s together and filled in the seams, wile doing this I sanded all the detail off of the body ☹️

    So I did some searching for what some would say is a lazy way to fix my detail problem. I found some resin rivets for trains, so I bought some and I am going to give it a try 

    Wish me luck, I may get this thing in color again soon
