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.
-
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.
-
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?
-
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 ?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Sweet thanks!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Most of my stuff came in! Two packs of new foil. Love how he packaging it now.

Yeah i just could not get certain area's to cover properly. Everything looks good until you turn it over and start tapping and BOOM missed area or too thin in certain areas. So instead of brown embossing powder it got flat brown tamiya lol. Prob should of mixed some flat white to lighten it up cause its as brown as brown gets. But i think it contrasts pretty good with the med tan interior.
-
I don't have any boat kits, but i do have train kits and other machinery type kits. Vehicle kits start to get stale after awhile, unless you're someone that eats, sleep, breath cars everyday.
-
Yeah that's what i meant was different lol. Actually witness some insanity doing some flocking with some embossing powder, but it just wasn't doing it. After 10 tries of washing, cleaning, laying down clear elmers glue, embossing powder it wouldn't cover properly so i gave up.

Now i got to buy more tamiya primer so i can do some testing - because this just seems weird to me. Unless tamiya is changing up the formula and we just haven't got a can of it yet.

Might be a poor mans version, but the creo's are amazing brushes. I own a PS270 just for Metallics like chrome and other metals.
