Thanks Hugh, Bo, Pat and Chris! Kein Problem - DANKE!

Real great job on that grille!

I am using acupuncture needles in 0.35 mm diameter. Simply cut them to the required size. Works fine for me on 60's and 70's cars.

Well that's actually a Jota (although they call it "Miura Jota", but imho that's wrong). The Miura released by Italeri around 2 years ago (with the yellow car on the box) is the old ESCI kit which is totally out-of-proportion in the door-area. Compare that to a Hasegawa kit and it's pretty obvious that it's just a very bad kit. AFAIK there has not been a Jota by Esci so there is hope that this could be an Airfix kit, for example. I would stick to Hasegawa anyway, Miura and Jota are goods kits from them and easily available...

Your progress looks excellent and I really like your weathering! This is one of the WIP's where I am absolutely certain we will see a great result in the end.

I agree. To my knowledge, and aside from re-releasing Enthusiast Model kits once in a while, they hardly do any fully detailed kits anymore. But then again, 82 parts on this kit is more than I'd expect, so it's a more detailed kind of curbside kit.

First finished build of the year, 1970 Hemi Cuda

Very nice, but more images would be great! -
Right up my alley! GREAT model! (And another kit for my wishlist...)
-
That's a great build! Which color did you use, hemi orange metallic?

Stars and Stripes Greenwood Corvette Sebring 1971

Just great! -
I believe everything has been said about this... So just congrats on this BREATHTAKING result, Dann!
-
I'm not a fan of restomods per se, but yours is looking great!
-
Welcome back and congrats on the beautiful model. A bit of BMF for the chrome trim would be a nice touch!
-
Nice Camaro, and a nice color combo. Since - unlike me - you have managed to "tame" the decals on the hood, may I ask which kind of softener you are using?
-
Thanks Phil, Bob, Tom an Michael! Thanks Bruce... I actually wanted to go for those black stripes but they were awfully thickish and "stubborn", so I decided to give the hood a matt black finish for a contrast... Thanks Keith and Tom! Thanks David, appreciated! Applying the chrome trim with BMF actually worked fine and without complications. When deepening the panel lines on the body prior to applying primer and paint, I also accentuate the trims later to be covered with BMF, in order to have a light "groove" around them to let the knife be guided in during the BMF process. It's additional work, but it helps! Well, much appreciated! Thanks Greg, Howard, Lee, James, JC, Ray, David, Anthony, Jim, Terry and Bill! Thanks Snake. No, it's actually metallic black, Tamiya TS-40. Polished, no clear coat. The hood is matt black from the can, but fiberglass sounds great too! Thanks Guido, Craig and Keith! Thanks Christopher, I'll take that as compliment, given the nice car you had! Danke Oliver!

Thanks, uscarmodels.eu is my regular source already. Glad to know the Dutch shop now though.

That's a very good idea. I have been looking there last year for alternative colors (as the standard ones are kind of boring) and I found that this will be my way to do it - most beautiful 959 I've ever seen. https://canepa.com/1988-porsche-959-canepa-gen-iii/ And, a bit off-topic, if anyone want their belief in this Porsche as the "perfect car" shattered, here's an interesting read: https://jalopnik.com/the-porsche-959s-history-was-way-more-of-a-disaster-tha-1792096170 Btw, I agree that the intercoolers are not a must because they are not visible.

Me too, Luc. Looking forward to that. Too bad ROG are not releasing the new '69 Mustang aswell...
-
Looking good, Ray. Although I would prefer BMF to the chrome pen, to be honest. Congrats on getting the decals laid that well. I was working on the same decals for my Camaro last night (the black ones actually, but I assume they are the same material). I did not manage to get them laid properly, with all the use of (lots of) softener, hairdryer and whatnot. Later I wondered if maybe I should have cut them in halves lengthwise. Could have helped... May I ask how you have been doing it?

Revell "Contacta" cement ?
Tommy124 replied to Goodwrench3's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
That's probably the best and easiest way to go! -
I'm not here to judge you... but: well done and it looks great!
