I'm sure I will end up with the Cyclone. Maybe a Beretta if I feel creative. Overall looks like all will sell well.

Only options I know of are to polish it out or throw it out. I usually end up doing the latter as I have never had success with the former.

Looks. Awesome. Made good use of the 007 kit.

Wife picked this up at the bookstore. It is now our project. Mostly friction fit parts with some fiddly bits I have had to repair but overall a fun little kit so far.

Good point. I know more than a few folks who in no way can afford the new latest and greatest and end up in over their heads on a 10 year old truck with 180K miles that they finance with a billion % interest. They can't imagine, or just don't want to admit that because they are still struggling with the $500/month payment for the next 8 years, that repairs will be needed. Over inflated price does not equate to mechanical longevity.

90's model F150 promos are usually pretty cheap on Ebay. May even be able to get a couple cheaper than you would a set of aftermarket wheels and tires.

Aftermarket doesn't always provide exactly what every model requires. I would scratch build them.

Or find a hungry panda...??

I vote the McLaren

Did custom leather work for a while. People don't understand that my time is actually worth something and that quality hand made items don't come cheap. Part of the problem is hacks selling something they threw together for half the price, the other part is cheap online junk with one day shipping that will fall apart in a week. But the picture looked so pretty online....

Great job on the decals.

I have a Grex Tritium with the pistol grip and love it. I also have a Badger and an Iwata. I tend to switch back and forth between the grex and the badger depending on what paint I am using. Each will perform as well as the other but I am somewhat superstitious so if I got a good paint job with enamels the last time with one airbrush, that becomes my enamel airbrush for a while.

Thank you
