    Love it. I was just eye balling the calsonic skyline at hobby town today, but I didn’t get it ?

    Looks awesome man. Did the hood come warped a little though or something else going on?

    Promised myself I’d never buy another MPC kit…Still haven’t broke that promise lol.

    I can't say for sure that the humidity caused that issue, but 85 is way to high. I'm not sure how you even sit in that to even paint lol. Certainly need to get your painting area a little more controlled, and get the humidity down though. 85% there's a ton of moisture in the air, and the best way to combat that is a dehumidifier. 30%-55% is ideal living conditions. What's your humidity when it's not raining?

    Good to know because i own this kit. So if mine is that bad i wont even waste my time on just use it for a paint mule.

    How is the quality? I know they released another version of this bus as well.

    Went back to Ollie’s, and found these in a different section.

    I always pull, and there worth the money. You can get a 100 pack for like a $1 or $2 more than a 100 pack of regular blades. I prefer using them with regular xacto blade handle instead of the handle you get with a set. I just snap part of the bottom off with cutters, and place inside handle. Much much more comfortable than the skinny surgical blade handle.

    Got these two from Ollie’s. Nothing special.

    I think i seen something enamel of there's before, but i don't remember though. I also can't find anything on there website related to it.

    Yeah surfacer's carrier is lacquer based.

    Yeah the alclad is fragile too, but for some reason mine just stayed tacky in certain spots.
  16. Dpate
    If no alclad tamiya is close match gunmetal or light gunmetal LP-19 and LP-20
  17. Dpate
    Alclads gunmetal comes to mind

    Aqueous is 100% non toxic, and the Acrysion this is what I found about it. This is an epoch-making paint that can be used for both brush painting and air brush painting. Drying speed is faster than with the existing water based hobby colors, so work efficiency is improved dramatically.

    Ah okay. Never used Dupli colors primers - even though lot of folks have had success with it using automotive paints n such. I strictly use Mr surfacer primer. If I wasnt packing for my move I would test myself as I have few cans of the testors extreme diamond dust. Something in the 3n1 testors didn’t agree with the dupli color or vice versa.
  20. Dpate
    So what two primers did you use? Seems the one that did work is the primer you should use with this combo you’re doing.
  21. Dpate
    Currently moving myself still packing. I have a total of 11 XL boxes full of kits, and that’s not including the ones that are bigger than the box itself lol.
  22. Dpate
    Nice thank you
  23. Dpate
    After cleaning, and boxing up cause I’m moving soon I found a can of this lol. Didn’t know I had bought it. How durable is it? How many coats?
  24. Dpate
    Besides the revell & few others. ALL the Japan goodness ?. Great stuff man, and that morris mini cooper is a very clean kit. Haven’t built mine yet.
  25. Dpate
    I tested the spoon I shot with Alclads matte coat, and seems it likes to rub off to easily. Gonna give testors dull coat a try, but hopefully more products can be mentioned along with the Tamiya. Thank you.
