I bought a new 750 Commando in 1972 ... should have kept it! Anyway, I see Airfix and Heller, and maybe others made kits. Any preference among them? I also see that some folks use insect pins for more realistic spoke replacement. Any experience or advice? Ken

Hi Steve .... the original car was dark blue. I assume a careful coat of prime will protect the plastic?

Hi all .... been away from modelling for many years and now getting back into it. The tools and technology sure have improved! I plan to build the 1/8 Revell XKE patterned after the real-world one I owned in the early 70's. There are about half a dozen on ebay this week. Eye-watering prices, but there you go. I plan to strip the chrome off the wheels (great advice on this forum BTW) and paint them, because they were painted from the factory on my car. A question ... I have a Grex TG3 airbrush with .35 needle. Is this suitable for painting such a large model? I've read that some car modelers paint with rattle-cans to get good coverage. Good advice? I just finished a five year restoration of a Panther J72 which uses Jaguar running gear. I had webers on it for a while, but went back to SU HD8 carburetors. I can supply photos of both carb setups if someone could benefit from them. Kendall
