Revell '57 Chevy Re-issue
TransAmMike replied to TransAmMike's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
All had them, and no there was never a "spear". -
Recently got the Revell '57 Belair 2-door sedan and just opened it up. The tops of the front fenders are supposed to be a peak from front to back. Instead as, you can see in the pics, the peak is flat. Anyone else have this kit? If so, what does the tops of the fenders look like on yours? I'll be interest in your replies. Thanks, Mike

What’s your favorite clear red paint?
TransAmMike replied to Monty's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I've used Mr Color and Createx with good results. I like Mr Hobby paints. -
If I had some and drank beer anymore I would for sure lift a few to Bobby. Family and I met him at several collectable and NASCAR affairs and he always took the time to talk to us (as did son Davey). Such a nice and friendly guy. Was so sad to heart of his passing. RIP as you are now up there with Clifford and Davey. losing

I'm thinkin' if you want 100% accuracy you ain't gonna find it. Build it to your liking and enjoy it!! And by the way, my first ever 1:1 car was a '57 BelAir 2Dr Hdtp. -

Built the ":Street Machine" version, loved the kit. The tubbed rear is a neat feature. I have the Revell Sedan next up. A whole lot of parts. -
Paint Strippers - What to Use?
TransAmMike replied to pbj59's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
The suggestion of using the Mr. Hobby Leveling 400 was a life saver for me (well at least for stripping paint off?) Easily wiped off with just a small amount of thinner sections at a time. Then a tight spots and creases I dipped toothbrush in a small amount in a bottle, brushed it on, waited a few seconds and brushed it right off. Got this much off with the Easy-off after not getting any off with the Castrol Degreaser. After the thinner all gone and like it was unpainted. Didn't take pics before I re-primed it. -
Paint Strippers - What to Use?
TransAmMike replied to pbj59's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
You're right Harry. I only buy the big bottle anyway since I use Mr. Hobby paints a lot. Google the thinner and it will come up with some sellers. It is hard to find tho, especially at a reasonable price. -
Paint Strippers - What to Use?
TransAmMike replied to pbj59's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Well Don, you are the winner. The Mr Hobby Leveling 400 did the trick. Like you said, just dampen cloth, rub and off it comes. Thanks for that suggestion. -
Paint Strippers - What to Use?
TransAmMike replied to pbj59's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thank you Marcus and Les. I did see in earlier posts about the brake fluid and IPA. I have not tried them yet, was hoping someone actually tried stripping the Createx. Anyway, will try both and see what happens. Thanks again guys!
