  1. Looks good Nicolas. I also have this kit to do and dreading the decal application. May wind up being a stripe delete?
  2. Looking good Buddy?
  3. Very good job on the "H" Dale. As others have said, the stripes are right on and not using the fussy decals was a smart move.
  4. I agree, almost has me wondering if I want to put the different color on it. Thanks Chaz, and yep, the dreaded BMF for allllll that trim work.
  5. Wow Paul, the finish on everything looks flawless. Impressive work.
  6. Yep, like James I get it at HL. If I need a Createx product HL may not have I have found spraygunner.com has a good price on it. Just me maybe, but I stick with Createx thinners, the sealers (primer), and slow dry mediums when using Createx.
  7. Thanks... Yep, a few drops of 4011 will do it. One thing I don't like about the Auto Bourne black is you have to be careful not to scratch it. It dries quick and smooth but not very tough.
  8. Thanks my Friend?
  9. Nice job on the green, the clear will make it pop!!
  10. Ahhhh Mario, another winner from you?
  11. Well this thread has taken off like wildfire. Plenty of cool stuff here guys!!!
  12. Thats a good one Peter. I am a military aircraft "buff" and a big B-52 fan but that BUFF moniker does fit the C-17....maybe a sexy BUFF.?
  13. I generally don't do a WIP but I thought what the heck on this one. I have some very wide aftermarket 5-spoke resin (similar to TorqueThrusts) wheels I'm hoping to use. Otherwise will be pretty much OOB. Not disclosing the topcoat color yet but today got the basecoat on the body. Paint is Createx Pearl Gold over Createx Autoborne black sealer. Thats all for now folks?
  14. Well Harry, let me be the first to say WOW!!!!!!!!!??
  15. For me, I gotta say there probably isn't any car I had (and there were many) I wouldn't want to drive today that I had in the past. In fact, I'd take any of them back now. But, I did have to drive a company supplied vehicle that was the terrible vehicle I was ever saddled with....an Isuzu pickup in the early 80's. Rode hard and was so slow it couldn't get out it's own way.
  16. Great job Tulio. Can't go wrong with black?
  17. Nice work there Gary? My very first car was a '57 Bel Air 2Dr Hardtop white with red/black interior. I too had chrome reverse wheels on it. Great memories.
  18. Nice work. The real one was probably a comfortable ride.
  19. Thank you Carl and David.
  20. Great work as usual from you Tim and yep, keep the pics coming?
  21. With the new union/MLB agreement I'm sure glad that both leagues will use DH's and that stupid token runner on 2d base in extra innings is gone. Hearing now the Yankees are closing in on a 10 year deal on Carlos Correa. Hope they'll be happy paying him and being injured every season. Oh well.
  22. Very nice work on the TA. You would think by now I would have done this model (I do have the kit in waiting). Good job Dan.
  23. I agree with the "non-existant" window trim, actually the drip rail chrome. I generally don't do much extra work on most of my models and did consider doing something with the drip rails but just skimmed what was there with Molotow on a tooth pick. Good enough for me.
  24. I airbrush unthinned Molotow to aftermarket resin and plastic wheels with very nice results. As many have said, touching it even after drying a week can dull it so thats a no-no. I'm pretty sure there was a fairly recent thread about sealing it. I'm too lazy to look it up but just do a search on here. I haven't tried any sealers but sure would like it if there is one that will work well.
  25. Thank you Gareth. The Molotow Chrome works well.
