    Do any of you folks actually chase high and low spots on your bodies? If so what are you methods of correcting the issue? Just curious if anyone ever or even consider taking it that far.

    Yes I love moebius kits as well. Especially there trailer kits and big rigs. It sucks this happened, but they’ll get it sorted out. Even with the warpage it’s still better quality than what most put out lol.

    Got a reply from them. Said there going to send me out a new hood.
  4. Dpate
    I emailed them to see if I could get a replacement hood. Haven’t heard anything back yet, but someone here said there aware of all the issues and awaiting for new parts.

    Whoo that thing is so clean could eat some chick fil a off it

    Little boo boo at the front of the decal, but these decals kinda suck and there too long. Had to cut some off the back to be right. EDIT: Going to redo the body. Don't really like how it turnt out and the decal.

    So I checked my kit fully again and I do have some warpage. Hood has it the worst (Just the right side), but I think if I tape it down to the body, and throw some heat on it it may settle down. Everything else in the kit is good though.

    That really sucks man. I got mine off ebay too. I'm going to check everything again 100% on my kit tomorrow. If you do send it back and get your money AMT is re releasing there ramp truck kit sometime this month.

    Na, i see some warpage here.
  10. Dpate
    I'm gonna check mine again tomorrow and do some test fitting. Will report back with what i get and pics. $50 kit this isn't acceptable at all.
  11. Dpate
    Oh man now im gonna have to triple check lol. Didn't do any test fitting just looked at every part and everything looked straight and true. Def will test fit the hood.

    I double checked mine again today too and made sure nothing was warped. Mines all good, but what parts are showing up warped? The big ramp parts?
  13. Dpate
    Thanks for this. I've heard of zero paints, but never used them. Gonna give them a go. Would of been cheaper to do scalefinises, but they had some extra stuff i wanted so went on ahead and got it from them. Instead of spending $20 i spent $50 ?
  14. Dpate
    Yes you’re right. But yeah I’m back at square one, because can’t find that yellow anywhere but scalefinises. I’m just gonna have to suck it up and drop $20 on it.
  15. Dpate
    Yes that’s where I got my info from. The white actually for the Toyota is called Pegasus white, but doubt anything like that exist now. So closest to that was dover white so that Cadillac was just an example of the color.
  16. Dpate
    Thanks every body for the help on the white color, but i think I'm gonna go with belletreux yellow which i wont have a choice but to order from scalefinishes. Not only is it one of the rarest colors for the car, but i like it much better than the basic white. Just beautiful!

    I used some tamiya white primer on current build I'm doing and it is amazing stuff. It does lay down silky smooth and self levels amazingly well. Mr surfacer thinned right with either MLT or rapid thinner it's the same if not better.

    Could always decant it. But yeah that was one of the negative reviews about it with the paint build up lol. Prob crappy nozzle. $15 for 8oz is a lot cheaper than $20 for 2oz. I'm gonna go to o reillys tomorrow and check up on it.
  19. Dpate
    Sweet thanks!
  20. Dpate
    Thanks for the help everybody. I'll get something figured out lol. EDIT: So i found a can of perfect match at o reilly, but it's got nothing but negative reviews lol. Is it best to decant it? Never used duplicolor before.
  21. Dpate
    Solid. It's for the Aoshima toyota GT 2000 Yeah that pure white looks pretty close Yes but those cans are like $18 near me and no store has them. Nevermind doubled checked o reilly's for $15 Artic white which would be perfect. I actually have this but i don't care for the gloss as i use 2K. I think i have tamiya's pure white as well in LP line up.
  22. Dpate
    Does any body know what white would match this dover white? I really don't wanna pay almost $20 for a bottle from scalefinishes just for 1 color.
  23. Dpate
    More stuff came in.
  24. Dpate
    Most of my stuff came in! Two packs of new foil. Love how he packaging it now.
  25. Dpate
