  1. Very cool and good looking car Jack. Love the black and gold!!
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
  7. When I read what you said I thought WTH, gonna drive? It's to support his teams. He really should retire as a driver.
  8. Well Joe you are doing a fantastic job on this one. Gonna be an impressive build Buddy?
  9. As was said earlier, a crazy amount of detailing. Terrific work John..,,pretty amazing!!?
  10. Well I guess no one has had my issue?.
  11. OK, I know there are Createx users on here. Sprayed Createx Pearl on model over Mr. Surfacer 1500. Sprayed Rustoleum Clear Lacquer over it (done it before with good result) and this time it checked the paint...total ruination. Now put it in purple pond to strip the paint off. Did nothing. Used Easy Off. Have sprayed it over a dozen times and with not much success. Even the abrasive pad barely scrubbed it off. Anyone have another suggestion. Remember the key to it is, it's Createx Acrylic Resin paint.
