    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.

    These two came in today from Burbank house of hobbies.

    Received $20 spare parts sprue from meng that took 3 weeks. Unfortunately they sent the wrong sprue from a different kit. Not sure how they managed that when they got QC number, and pictures of the said kit. Sigh……….

    Just bought two 400ml bottles from hobby nut models. I own plenty of it, but didn’t know it was on back order at a lot of sites. So impulse buy lol.

    Not hard to reach them high numbers lol. I’ll be doing another plaza Japan order eventually, and that’ll be another 11-12 kits added to the stash lol.

    Hiroboy is where I buy zero paints.

    These are fantastic. They’re meant to use along side the red pair or any pair to do the first cut, and blue pair does finishing close cut. Do not use these to cut thick gates on parts or you could end up disappointed.

    First kit I built when I got into the hobby. Unfortunately my son damaged it, but it’s a nice little kit though.
  13. Dpate
    Yeah just found them, and the price was $8.74 lol. I remember finding them in a random buggy at hobby lobby.

    Nice! I got 3 of these. I got 3 because my first one was at hobby lobby @40% off, and than later down the road I found 2 more on clearance there for $8 or $9 each.

    New meng kit. These bikes are so detailed it’s insane. 2nd BMW kit I got from meng, and definitely need more. Packaging was great as well from seller in Hong Kong.

    It’s best to check scalemates for a specific model to check the original release/tooling. AMT/Revell do have some great kits, and a lot of bad kits. Round2 love to repop old tooling so scalemates is your friend.

    I think steam will be having another sale coming up soon. It’ll be really cheap to get then.

    New paints. Body n rim colors for the new Tamiya 911, and caliper paint for the bike kits, and was curious about there wax.

    If you’re talking about the American truck sim that’s on steam on PC? Than I own it with all the DLC locations. Beautiful game, and great experience. Recommend any sim racing wheel set instead of a controller or keyboard, but either would work okay. I don’t play it much as I use too, but I still support the game as it’s one of the best at what it does. P.S I also love big rigs 👍🏻

    HOT! Off the megahobby line. Should have ordered two of these beauties. After looking through the instructions - the way the side mirrors are put together is a first I’ve seen.

    There’s a strike with usps in Canada too. So shipping from or too is currently suspended. Every time you turn around there’s a strike going on.

    Czech truck model photo etch came in today. I would have took closer shots of each one, but that would have been to many pics lol. Even though the Volvo comes with a photo etch grille set this one is much better, and has the Volvo on it as well. The Volvo badges contain the FH16 badge for the grille as well.

    Got these two beauties today. Still waiting on detail up parts from Czech. Gonna be my next project. Still got to get the proper paints as well.

    Love this! CTM makes some of the best photoetch stuff in the bizz.
