Decided I better buy a second Lindberg 66 Chevelle SS to go with the one I already have because I want to be an as delivered to the dealer then as I modified mine back in 66.
I saw one in Hobby Lobby a month or two again and did'nt buy it so would'nt you know, they're now a "rare" kit. Geez!!!!
And without stating the obvious (LOL), what is the best solution to the dulling problem. Or is there really any solution other that just paint and deal with.
Yeah Geoff, I forgot about that nasty sprue attachment for the hood trim. I broke mine fooling with it so had to glue it back together and as you did BMF'd it too. Since I had another kit to use I went ahead and used the new one (and of course had to touch up the sprue attachments). Now building a Street Gasser and using the repaired one on it but I'm thinking about painting it the body color.Hmmm.
The emblem looks fine to me. I've done 3 of them and it definately takes some finessing. I didn't look back at the thread but how is the hood fit....always an issue on this kit.
Love it, such nice cars. I special ordered 1:1 a '70 Cutlass S with the W-25 Ram Air hood and always regretted selling it.
Gonna ask here if anyone has the Jo-Han 70 kit they wanna part with??
Waiting for a less than 40% day in below the mason dixon line is a rarity. I'm just south of Nashville and seldom is there what you could consider an ideal day. It just so happens today is perfect and I'm out of paint and can't get more until Monday. Oh well.
That hood is perfect and a beautiful green. Cool looking Olds too.
The can doesnt't say anything about having to clear coat but your're right, clearing would have solved the issue. When I had the first can I bought that was messed up I tested a panel that I sprayed that had dulled out. I just brushed on some old Future and wow, it definately had a deep shine.
It just so happens I sprayed a custom VW I'm building and forgot to paint the front and rear bonnets (I guess that how ya spell it) so have to buy another can so I'll see how that comes out.

Looks like I really got you guys' going with my question about scale. I was hoping someone would post pictures of same year cars in the different scales and you did Pat.
I'm sure I saw this question before but can't find it.
Did my first two tone paint job and masked the two different color areas with Tamiya fine line tape. The paint is Duplicolor which is of course laquer. Any suggestions for how long I should wait to pull off the tape.
Thanks in advance, Mike
Yay!!! Reprayed the trunk lid that was dulling out. At first sprayed with temp in the garage in low 70's but humidity was showing 55. Still was dulling out but with some shine in spots. Than I opened the garage door and got the temp slightly lower but the humidity at 45 percent. I put the can in hot water for about 5 minutes and sprayed again after previous coat drying about 30 minutes. Got perfect shine.
So i'm guessing 45% humidity with warming the paint a bit is the answer. But who REALLY knows.
