    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.

    Turned out alright. Glad it’s done as it’s not Tamiya’s best kit IMO. Few mistakes, and rear view mirror gone because my son lost it ?‍♂️. Rear tail lights cut from sprue still showed through, and wrong Porsche decals on rims as I didn’t have the proper ones, and the kit ones don’t show good on black. Not to shabby for the $14 I paid for it. Porsche GT3 in Mexico blue from gravity colors.

    Best trade ever!

    I like a good box art especially from Tamiya. But it’s not that important to me where I’d spend money on a kit just for a new box art, and updated decals. If everything is new, and updated? Than take my money.

    Was the alpine good? That sucks donkey $&@¥ that happened. Definitely return or replacement from Amazon.

    Gravity colors finally came in. The safari gold gonna look good on the fairlady street custom.

    Nice. Like everyone else said they’re legit. I’ve ordered hundreds of dollars worth of products from them. There also one of the cheapest to buy from too compared to megahobby, and model roundup.

    WOW!!! Awesome stuff man. Not sure how much you got this for, but that MENG F-350 can go for $3-$400.

    Now that me and my baby mama is back together - im able to get little more free time at the bench or as my son calls it the “Hobby lobby room”. Between work & family, building model kits, and gaming being young @35 allows me to multitask for now. Not sure how many hours I’ll be at the bench though it varies. Masking alone can feel like 30 mins, but 2 hours done went by lol. Think the longest I’ve sat at the bench has been bout 4 hours just cleaning parts, test fitting, gluing parts.

    All this came in today. Lego, megahobby, and Burbank house of hobbies orders. Still waiting on my gravity color order.
  20. Dpate
    Yeah that stinks, and sucks they cost so much. So far I’ve been fortunate, and haven’t damaged mine yet. I have however damaged my micro mark nippers dropping them ?. They still work though okay, but I mainly use them now for cutting parts off the tree. Than get in close with the god hands, and I now ALWAYS keep the nipper sleeve cover on when not in use.

    Can't wait to get my street custom

    Love this brand. There liquid mask is the only liquid mask I use.
  23. Dpate
    Got these pipes done. The left is what it looked like before taking it all off on the right pipe. Just Tamiya 1mm tape with some 2 mixed in, and abteilung 502 liquid mask. The things we do just to get small details airbrushed lol.

    Same thing happened to me with the F40 & F50. I had purchased that I thought the proper shade of red for the F40, but it was the shade for the F50. So I had purchased the proper F40 shade of red, and purchased F50 kit lol.

    Nothing special just some hard to find window masks from hobbyeasy for Tamiya Porsche 911 GT3. Even comes with a template to make extra. Need to figure out how to upload it online so folks can print it out.
