  1. Supercharged and Fuel injected. Not a Gibson, please.
  2. I too like the glass bottles. You can get the small size (1/2 oz.) probably at Hobby Lobby, or a hobby shop. I like the 1 oz. you can get at Chicago Airbrush Supply; they are by Paasche and you can order them with or without the siphon style cap. And don't forget to get the gaskets!
  3. I have a Paasche H. I rely on checking the viscosity of the paint. There are different ways of doing this without buying any extra equipment. I never let the airbrush set for even a minute. I dis-assemble and soak in acetone. Also there are good paints and lesser paints.
  4. Is there a difference between 2-part polyester putty, and 2-part epoxy putty? I used the epoxy stuff and it dried hard as a rock-un-sandable!
  5. Thank you MeatMan
  6. What is the best source? Thanks
  7. Great info, I think I will order 1 from BNA, the one for $53.00. Thank you very much.
  8. Some time ago, I posted a very similar post such as this. I thought I 'bookmarked' the response but I can't find it now. I want one of these tools mainly for small stuff like seat belt kits. Any help? Thanks
  9. Thank you for the helpful tips.
  10. Is there any way to paint solder? Thank you.
  11. I enjoyed your photos, Straightliner59.
  12. Thank you for all these great responses. BTW, when are they going to start 'charging' for the privilege of using this Forum?! Thanks again.
  13. Do all 2 part puttys dry hard as a rock? Tamiya 2-part "Quick Type" does! Maybe I got a stale batch. It only responds to Dremel grinding. Help!
  14. Yes, this question is elementary but I've got to start somewhere. ("I am an elementary girl.")
  15. Thank you, Khils, for the help.
  16. Any helps or hints would be great. Thanks
  17. Thanks for the input.
  18. I was hoping the concept car would be substantially different from the production version. Otherwise why build it, you see my point? If it was quite different I would build it for a friend. He has an actual Camaro and he's a car guy. I built him a '66 Chevelle SS396 and he really liked it. Thanks
  19. I don't know if it is a new issue. Are not models of this subject hard to find (expensive)? Thanks
  20. Being a concept car, is the body much different than the actual production Camaro? The photos on the box look very much like the actual production Camaro. Any info would be great. Thanks
  21. New panels like a hole in a hood to make room for a supercharger, for example. Actually I am building a Tamiya Countach and I want to open a couple of panels in the rear deck so as to view the engine detailing, such as it might be (plug wiring and detail painting). Naturally I would use clear acetate or clear styrene to fill in the 'holes'. I have been on Tamiya's website and they have a bewildering array of 'cutting implements', like p.e. blades and even needles! Can or will anyone help me out here? Thanks
  22. On this 1/24 Tamiya Countach kit, there are panels engraved, maybe 3 or 4. I want to 'cut' these out and replace them with maybe clear acetate or clear styrene. I think maybe I will start a new thread referencing specifically Tamiya products.
  23. An example of this would be cutting a hole in a hood. I know Tamiya has a number of implements for this purpose. I don't necessarily want the thinnest blade. I have a Tamiya kit of the Countach. I'd like to cut holes in the rear deck to view the engine detailing I've done (plug wires and paint-detailing). Thanks
  24. I have read the best 1-part glazing putty is 'Bondo'. Any comments would be welcome. Thanks
