Besides some having 2 fans instead of one, and more lighting, and style. That’s bout the only improvement you’ll see on these type of booths all in one booths. I think they all use 3K rpm PC fans or industrial pc fans as exhausts. I own one when I first got in the hobby, but quickly upgraded by building my own using vent works stuff, and than upgraded again to the 36” peace keeper deluxe by pace. It’s the last booth I’ll ever need for what we do.

It’s the typical Chinese booth you can get from Amazon or eBay for round. $99 or so. Different styles, but there bout all the same, and function the same. The one he got is one of the cleaner ones that can fold up.

I would love to see my favorite super sports car done by Tamiya. The one and only Bugatti Chiron.

These are the bulbs I use in my paint booth. They are $30 per bulb, but that’s for the 100w equivalent, and 1600 lumens. 6500k 95cri 80+R9. If you wanna learn about lighting this is the place. Kelvin isn’t the only thing important with lighting. Also lot of bulbs especially at Walmart might claim there 95cri, but they’re not. Like my work bench light I have it claims 95 cri, but it’s not let alone even true 6500K. Think I paid bout $70 for it at the time, but I paid almost that for 2 bulbs lol. One day it won’t just be my paint booth that has good lighting it’ll be the whole hobby room. T8 light fixtures above the work bench etc. https://store.waveformlighting.com/products/centric-daylight-full-spectrum-flicker-free-a21-15w-led-bulb

It’s nice after after a good polish. I just suck with rattle cans, and didn’t bother to decant it to practice with it. There’s a lot of users on here that use it with great results.

1K will work over decals, but you’ll need to do a very light mist coat or two over them. Dupli colors perfect match clear is hot stuff. If I were you I’d test it on a scrap body or something using a decal from the same set you aren’t gonna use. If you aren’t careful with it it’ll mess up more than just a decal. I’m a 2K guy, but wanted to try 1K myself, and messed up whole paint job. I haven’t decanted it yet like I should have done in the first place. Also 1K is soft stuff so don’t press too hard or you’ll leave a print.

lol what’s the needle size? What type of brush u got? Thinning it like I said above will help from not spraying properly. A expensive brush won’t make u a better painter. What kind of compressor you got to where u can’t adjust PSI?

How did your primer lay down? What PSI are you spraying at? You could also try 1:1.5 paint to thinner. Did you clean the plastic good? Did you not test before committing to the kit?

Looks blotchy. What PSI are you spraying at? Try thinning the paint little more say 1:2 paint to thinner. Spray @20 psi.

Good ole regular non scented dawn + water. Let it soak for little bit, and they’ll be clean as they’ll get. You don’t need super clean, or any other type of cleaner. Just good ole dawn. If you want extra cleaning power just use 4x dawn. Can also use a cheap soft bristle toothbrush if you need to scrub a little.

You could have got it at Ollie’s for $20 if you were lucky. But it’s not true to scale like other trailer kits.

The revell germany version is better because the decal sheet has more to it. Yes the 300L Gullwing is a beautiful kit. One of Tamiyas best kits.

Bet he could make killer money off that skill.

Yeah I read bout that. Sure it’ll be my best option if the UV lamp doesn’t do better.

Yeah model colors is nice. My hobby town stocks a ton of it.

Talking about the Vallejo model air black? Cause it’s a nice black as well, and brush paints good.

So I got a small UV/LED nail lamp from Amazon to try and remove the yellowing on older decals. It seems to be working okay, but I’m not sure if 6 watts is strong enough? Plus the thang is annoying turning off every 15 mins. Is a higher wattage better or just 6 watts good enough, and just gotta play the waiting game? Really need something that will stay on 24/7 as well.

Yeah it’s acrylic paint, and washable. It’s kids paint used for shirts or hand painting etc.

petroleum…But I think in the near future online prices is gonna kill a lot of hobby shops. Hobby town may last, but I hardly buy any kits out of there. Prices are better than eBay, but man I can’t see paying $85+ for example a trailer kit I can get online for $50-60 free ship.

Word. Ever since I used there LP line up I stopped using there X- XF series except few colors. I love using their enamel line up too for detail work as well. Don’t get me wrong the X-XF line is good stuff - just compared to LP it’s not as good especially the Metallics. Mr hobby super metallics 2 are also amazing. Vallejo is good stuff as well, and model color is great too for detail work too. Also yeah I haven’t seen a shop around here that sells the LP line up. I always buy mine online for $2.50 or so, and LP-5 is the best semi- gloss black I’ve used, and I keep a Tamiya 45mL jar always full n thinned of the stuff.

These came in today.

Haven’t tried it, and not sure if it works as good as new improved chrome. But wouldn’t the black polish up, and be too shiny after burnishing it down compared to semi gloss black? Unless it keeps a Matt finish after it’s down.

Looks pretty good, and nice to see another vapor ?.

Finally got one of these.
