    I still got to get the bronco. How’s the parts look? Nice and crisp?
  3. Dpate
    Yeah I won’t even pay $13 for it lol rather have the ghostbusters version.

    You just click on add files n choose pic from photos library. Least that’s how I do it on my iPhone.

    Yeah I got a 20% off code so I’m thinking about going back to pick one up. My store had about 7 of them, and hopefully scalpers didn’t get them all yet. EDIT: Just realized I have the hostess version of the mail truck, but still might get one anyways.

    Finally got the 3rd detail up set for the RC166. Impossible to find the wheels detail up set - so I guess I can call it complete.

    Yeah my Japan stash is getting close to out doing AMT/Revell/Moebius stash. Mostly Tamiya & Aoshima with few trumpeter, & 1 or 2 fujimi, & few meng kits mixed in.

    Love to see the Japan kits.

    Yeah I had got the email too. You got to choose free shipping when checking out.

    Yeah I would of preferred the miller light version. Same kit too just different decals. Might see if can find the miller light decals separately that are still good condition or any trailer branded decals. Pepsi would be nice, but impossible to find anything.

    I know nothing about it, but grabbed one cause the kit itself goes for $50-$60. $20 for a trailer kit worth it, and just the decals alone would go for $15-$20.

    Lacquers don’t cure like enamels do. You can clear coat a lacquer paint job same day if you wanted too. Leveling thinner does slow the drying time a little so the paint can self level better, but not slow enough to where you’d have to wait a month. Like the automotive lacquers I use I can prime, paint, and clear all in the same day. I think it’s worth investing in a dehydrator too, but everyone’s opinion is different. Can block sand Mr surfacer primer in 10 mins @120F while most wait a day or more lol. Most folks just like to let stuff dry on its own while they work on something else.

    So this is my first time doing foil under paint job, and on the engine instead of body. For some reason it seemed hard to take pics because of the chrome. Still got to do the other side, but I think it turned out pretty good for first time. I can also see how some would have trouble doing this method especially on a small piece without burrowing the detail in paint. Engine still in progress, and the paint is MCW Chevy engine red (6 coats) over pink primer.

    Ollie’s got some new kits in the U.S mail truck, and these rat fink trailers. I picked up a trailer as I don’t have very many but a few moebius trailers.

    Right, and if you still want to do scale finishes paint I have a 15% coupon code I could PM your way. That way you could get 3 bottles 6 ozs of paint, and save some dough. I say 6 oz cause that’s a lot of paint, but I’m not familiar with 1/8 scale so probably need 4-5 bottles 8-10 ozs.

    Thought I had this kit, but didn’t so had to grab it. Also got some micro liquitape thanks to a user on the forums mentioning it.
  17. Dpate
    Haven’t used them, but I was going to in the past. They’re legit, but I couldn’t tell u how hot the paint is.
  18. Dpate
    Great for folks that don’t wanna purchase BMF.
  19. Dpate
    Never knew that site even existed. Better places to order from imo. How much what the kit?
  20. Dpate
    Cheapest place online for Tamiya paint would be scalehobbyist, Burbank house of hobbies, sprue brothers. You can get all Tamiya paints there $1.99-$2.80 for 10ml, and $7-$8 for the TS cans.
  21. Dpate
    Tamiya products are pretty cheap in Japan. They’re just expensive in the states cause they making up for import fees etc. What Tamiya products are you looking for exactly? Tools? Paint?
  22. Dpate
    Have you tried letting the hood sit in dawn soap for a little while? That should clean it up pretty good.
  23. Dpate
    No it’s separate pieces that go into the tire. All I did to them was clean them up, primed them white, couple coats of Mr color GX cool white, and then went over them with wet 3K grit. I was gonna hit them with dull coat through the brush, but ended up liking the look after the 3K grit. Looks better in person than the pic. They’re from the 57 Chevy bel air 100 year anniversary AMT kit. Great kit with all the bells n whistles. Just little clean up here n there, and little more depending how picky you are.

    Got these 5 white walls done.

    Hey whenever you get a chance share how the honey clear goes. It’s suppose to be like 2K without some of the chemicals.
