Attended The Cincinnati Auto Replicas (C.A.R.) show & swap meet today in suburban Cincy. Lots of good stuff in the swap meet, but I’m broke as usual.
picked up the following little unbuilt gem for $5.00? Revell reissue from 1976.
This! this is the very first kit I ever built. Locked up in Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto for 3 months. It sure didnt turn out like the box cover! lol

My daughter and boyfriend bought me this German space ship I was looking at getting. I was telling them about this cool kit I saw on Sunday and they ordered it right after I showed them the pic of it. Today I was at their house and the mailman dropped of a big box and they really surprised me when he threw it at me and said thanks for helping them out when they need it!!!

Man thats just so cool. I've seen on the History Channel they actually working on things like this. I had no idea someone had made a kit!! I want one!

Picked these up at the local A buck or Two store. They were on clearance for $2 each so I grabbed them.

Mike , is the compressor that you bought?
If so the on/off psi values are factory set. The pressure regulator/water trap is on the left in the picture. You lift the knob on the top and then turn it to either increase or decrease your pressure. Do this while your airbrush is attached, and the compressor is on, and you have the trigger depressed. This will give you a more accurate reading of the psi that you are spraying at. Hope this explanation is clear and makes sense.
Sorry for the late reply Bill. My CPU fan died,which in turn over heated my CPU and fried it. I just now was able to get a new one.Yes that's the one I bought. I figured that was the way you go about it. I have a water trap inline on my badger air hose. I should be able to remove the regulator and trap and attach a more precise regulator? I paint with Alclad from time to time at very low PSI. I cant seem to get this one to go below 10 without the needle dropping to zero so i think a more sensitive regulator may be in order

For those who own one of these
I'm new to this kind of compressor, I had my CH for years, with a gauge for the pressure in the tank and a gauge to see what I'm setting the pressure at to come out of the airbrush. With the lack of an regulator gauge, to shoot at say 30 psi, I pop the top of the regulator and turn until the gauge shows 30? I'm 99.999% sure that how to set the psi, I just want to make sure before I start painting next week.
this thing sure is quiet compared to the assault on the ears when the CH kicked on!

Very nice! Any plans on doing the other car that came with that decal sheet? Stoned? Stoner? something along those lines

I usually go flat, if it's too flat i just rub it out a little with the tip of my finger

My experience with Tamiya spray can? great. For some reason I can lay down a beautiful paint job with Tamiya...with testors I always have to strip and redo...which is why I now decant if i'm going to use testors for a body.

67..jeez...I was still baking in the oven. Unless it came out in September..like me
-
Maybe older stock?
AMT's quality control towards the end was atrocious. I cant remember what kit it was..but my LHS owner told me that an entirely different body was in the box

I found a bunch of kits and the second hand store today, afew of them are partially built. Motor/chassis/front end put together and glued. Is there any way to take these apart without breaking these pieces?

I've said many times, the day I bought my Walmart C-H compressor and hooked it up in 2002 was the single happiest day of my adult modeling life.
Ya, thats pretty much how I felt when I got my Pace Paint booth!
As I've said in another post, last year i had to sell everything. 500+ models, tools...everything, thousands of dollars worth of stuff. Including my Pace. Well the guy I sold it all to..cheap, was so happy, when i go back to buy a kit here and there he GIVES them to me, plus 5 or 6 more. I told Him i was saving for a new booth, and what did he do? He GAVE it back to me...no charge. 24inch Super mini! Would have cost me over $500 to buy a new one! Anyway, nothing to do with my original post...but..
Me so happy!
