Garry. I have requested replacement part from Revell 3 different times. It took a few weeks but I did get the parts all 3 times. Make sure and send them pics of the bad parts and a pic of the kit you bought. Here is a link to their website where you need to fill out the form. Ignore the red banner that comes up. Hope this helps. Revell Model Building - Official website of Revell Germany | Homepage

Happy Veterans Day to all you guys and gals that serverd our country. This is me back in 1973 on the island of Luzon on Clark Air Base in the Phillippines. That was the service truck we drove on the flight line. We maintained the Barrier systems (BAK-12, MA1A) on the runway. (Serice Date 1972-1976)

1/12th Porsche 934 Vaillant
Zippi replied to majel's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
This should be a nice build Jim. I'll be checking in on this one. I've always heard that the Tamiya kits are top quality and would love to try one but they just don't put out anything inline with what I build. -
I know what you mean Dave. I'm now thinking...Did I get enough paint on, do I clear it, wet sand and polish, or just polish. What's your experience with it?

What Did You Accomplish Today? (Model Car Work)
Zippi replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I tried a new paint process today and I'm pretty pleased with the results. Testors paint thinned with lacquer thinner. -
That engine is looking pretty peppy James.

Good looking Charger Mario. Smooth looking paint job.

Thanks Riley.

Nice looking trio you have there. I like the 66 Nova but all 3 are nice.
-
Sharp looking Charger Mario. That black looks nice. You produce some nice looking models.
-
I stand corrected. I just assumed it was a bigger scale mode because of the size of the box. Why is the box so big for a 1:25 scale?
-
Nice looking Challenger. That yellow looks pretty kewl and I always like that HemI engine.

Well....I'm gittin there I guess.

Ok fella's. It got to 60 degrees and the humidity was at 59%. Did a little paint testing with Testors paint. When I tried this some months back it did not go well. Using my Paasche H airbrush, Klean Strip Lacquer thinner, Testors red paint in the small bottle. Air pressure was set to 28-32 psi. I am so pleased with how this test turned out that this is my new paint process.

Working on the suspension this morning. I think I have the rear where I want it after cutting the axle tubes down a little but the front tire are hitting the body. I'm sanding down the back of the hubs but not sure if I can get enough clearance.
-
Thanks Dave. I really meant to paint the white first but that did'nt happen. To much in a hurry to get some paint on the body I guess. I was affraid all the tape on the blue would mess it up but it was fine.

Looks like it turned out pretty kewl. I like the color and the decals. -
That is pretty nice looking Gene. That yellow looks like it went down nice and smooth. Great job.
-
All three will be nice when completed. That long nose Cobra drag car will be kewl. Never tried a 1:16 scale. I alway see the 1:16 1959 Chevy El Camino at HL every time I go there.
