    I know this isn’t a car etc, but this came in today. Loving these 1/35 kits. So many parts, and details throughout.

    Pretty clever ??

    I don’t use this for masking a line, but for covering anything I don’t want paint to touch. It’s great stuff, and removes super easy with no residue. I’m sure it could be used for masking a line, but there may be other alternatives.

    Yeah it’s not difficult to mask especially if the panel line is good. There’s good videos on YouTube showing how it’s done. It’s no different than laying BMF imo. You’re just masking, and cutting along the panel line around the door. The rear on the Toyota Supra was a tad harder as the panel line around the window wasn’t the best, but I managed to do it. I also use an airbrush to do it not a paintbrush. The key is building up the coats, and not wet coats same as using an automotive paint .

    Your best best for a clean finish is masking, and using Tamiya LP-65 or LP-5. That’ll get you cleanest look and finish. Sharpies etc will work, but doesn’t look good imo. Even did the rear window the same mask, and airbrush.

    There good 2 part paints meaning you need a clear. There in the list of great automotive paints such as gravity colors(Spain), scalefinishes, MCW to name a few. unfinished bronco done in grabber orange by splash paints.

    2K than foil. No need to seal BMF.

    You’re not gonna get that 1:1 color with Tamiya metallic blue.
  10. Dpate

    This bad boy came in today from hobbylinc. $189 11 frets of PE, over 1600 parts, like 54 tires etc lol will take months on this.
  13. Dpate
    I can’t tell if that’s a kit part or a real fifth wheel lol

    You’re gonna have to sand that out.

    Tamiya has 3 different size jars you can buy. I own a ton of the 45mL jars, but there bout $3 a jar.

    Ollie’s, hobby lobby, scalehobbyist, sprue brothers. Already own the bronco, but for $20 had to get another one.
  17. Dpate
    Yeah box is completely full
  18. Dpate
    Hmm not sure if mine got the new broncos yet. I have one already, but for $20 I’ll take another.
  19. Dpate
    This is it.
  20. Dpate
    It is lol. Recently seen a rare Tamiya kit super old for $4,999, but the funniest part was they wanted more for shipping than for the asking price. But lot of the issues besides pricing is the shipping. Like it doesn’t take $30 shipping to ship a small kit.

    I still got to get the mustang. Scalehobbyist has it for $23, but I want the Germany version just the price is crazy on eBay.
  22. Dpate
    These 3 colors came in today. I was gonna do the 57 Chevy bel air in dusk pearl, but after seeing sierra gold I was like holy moly much better eye catcher than the dusk pearl.

    The revell germany will always cost more than revell usa. Better instructions, and better decals made in Italy. Sometimes the Germany kit is of better quality than the USA version depends on the kit.
  24. Dpate
    I own quite a bit of the curved tape. It’s same great quality as their regular tape just little thicker, and much better for you guessed it curves. AK has curved tape that works good as well. I would de tack it like I do the regular tape as well. Just a habit even though I’m not the only one.

    I just use my air brush with PSI up to 35 to air dry parts, after a good dawn bath. Works every time if you got an airbrush setup.
