    Check your Walmarts. Mine got another model kit display. When I noticed it they were on clearance for $17. I go in today, and they’re down to $11. I figured sigh why not, and grabbed these two. I’m not a fan of MPC at all, but by these being new tools, and after checking them out I’m impressed. Now to find what kind of aftermarket stuff is available for these.

    How’s the tape? Good as Tamiya?

    Looking for a set of rims for Honda S2000 specifically AP1s. I’ve searched, but cant find anything at all. Does anyone have an answer? Maybe someone that can do them in resin?

    Just watched this last night. Love his channel, and long time subscriber. These tactics are done to rip people off, and what’s worse if you don’t have an honest mechanic like Eric you’re gonna get ripped off twice. Bet many a shop will do exactly what Eric did, but still charge full price. I honestly see more women getting ripped off than men by these type of tactics.

    Neighbor gave me an old two shelf cabinet. So what does a hobbyist do with such a thing? Tada made a few of my kits fit, but I think I could have fit a ton more AMT & revell kits on it. This will do for now. Thinking about getting two of the steel 4 or 5 rack thingy at Ollie’s, but I’ll take free for now.

    So I 2K cleared some parts today, and earlier I checked the parts. This part has one of the decals on it, and there’s a slight issue. When I applied the decals I don’t remember seeing the pebbly look, and I know 2K is safe over decals. I do add leveling thinner to the mix 4:1:1, and I did 3 coats Light, medium, heavy. I’m thinking I should have did 2 light coats first, but you can feel this through the clear. Curious to how this happened, and or can it be sanded? Can’t really see it unless you hold it close, and at an angle to the light. It’s not dust, and not through the entire decal just certain spots.

    Last order. Zoom on, and even gave me some free rims.

    Target purchase. Couldn’t leave without them. I actually have the Batmobile polar light kit, but no countach kit.

    It’s blurred out in the pic a bit. It’ll do 15 & up no problem. Rarely use below 20 PSI though. The trap on my old compressor was this low as well, and never had an issue with moisture in the line. It’s nicer having a 2 gallon tank instead of the 3liter tank that was on the No name compressor I had. Being on sale, and bigger tank is the reason I got it. Can actually paint much longer now before it actually kicks on lol.

    Out with the old n in with the new. Got this today at harbor freight. Actually shocked me how quiet it is, and impressed at 1 min & 23 secs of continuous air @ 20PSI. I’m hoping the kobalt trap will work good. If there is a better way to set this up please let me know. Should I keep the trap straight like this? Or remove the extra coupling, and let it sit at a slight angle behind the tank? Angle isn’t that bad to where it’ll affect the trap.

    Plaza Japan order came today. New kits, and some detail up parts, and extras.

    My local Walmart has kits, but nothing I’d pay full price for. Been waiting on them to hit the clearance aisle lol. Also hobby lobby is dead to me they never have nothing new at all besides the recent AMT releases. I believe the charger n bronco, but that’s it.

    Haven’t fully checked them out, but think both have the engine. I know the coupe even has the engine stand to display separately if you want. For the trunk detail you have to cut the hood out, to be able to see spare tire etc. The Carrera is suppose to be the enthusiast line just a different box art as well. EDIT: just looked at both, and there both the enthusiast versions. Both have engines while the coupe versions comes with a display stand as well. Little flashy on both kits, but nicely detailed.
