Ok, so I know I will probably get 10 different answers, but what is the best (preferably) pre-thinned airbrush paint. I've seen and heard both good and bad about a lot of them. I am seriously considering a few brands including Testors Aztek, Createx, Wicked, and Gravity. I am just learning the airbrush and am currently working with craft paint as far as getting the right consistency and pressures and spraying distances.

Thanks for the info, Bill. I don't have access to a lathe or a mitre box so that pretty much exceeds my skill set, although I know there are many that can do this. I'm sure this process turns out some fantastic looking rims though.

Thanks for the info, Steven. Those Torque Thrusts look fantastic, but I currently don't have any kits that include any extra wheel sleeves.

Good job on a nice looking scheme!

I have the Flintstones car that I will get to after the first of the year, and bought a Benson Cheerios kit as a donor for the Zombie Island car. I bought the Zombie decals on ebay and am not impressed with them as they look homemade and are not the clearest print job and I fear they are on a white backing which will be hard to trim around. I hope they are usable, but I'm afraid they may not be. I did the Scooby car back in I think '97, but I painted it black with the kit decals and unfortunately I pitched my model collection a few years after that?. I also had most of those cars in 1/24 scale die-cast until I sold that collection around the same time I pitched my models??. I really want to slap my 15-20 years younger self, lol.

Nicely done and detailed! Has held up well for an almost 25 year old build. The fact that the plug wires are yellow thread is barely noticeable.

I agree, that first pic could pass for the real one!

Hey guys, I'm looking for any tips or tricks that any of you might have for making deep dish rims. As an example, I would like to make a deeper dish out of the rally wheels in the Revell '69 Camaro Z28 kit, rather than spending the $15-$20 for aftermarket. The aftermarket rims are well worth it, but being on a strict budget severely limits my spending options. I would also like to keep the rim size at the approximate 15" scale size so I don't need to buy 18"-20" scale size tires also. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Very nice! Looks real in some of those pics.

Absolutely fantastic!!

Not bad at all. Whatever you did for the glass looks good, too bad about the A-pillar though.

Pretty darn nice for a 42 year old build.
