  1. I have quit using Rustoleum paint for that reason. Last incident, I primed and used a grey paint for a circle track chassis and roll cage. Still tacky weeks later, so back in the box it went and used the paint cans for targets.
  2. To me the words rare and obsolete mean nothing in the resin business. Any good caster could take a "rare" piece and re-pop it and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
  3. Really enjoyed looking at your recent projects. I mainly build circle track stuff, but after seeing all the nice Moebius AWB cars on the forum lately, think I need to get one or two.
  4. Likewise. He is a good historian of the sport. Nice builds there. What do you use for tire lettering?
  5. Awesome color
  6. I think your "attempt" turned out quite well.
  7. Why was he disqualified, is that a nitrous bottle there on the passenger side.
  8. That's kind of strange, I have used Mr Surfacer (grey) under Tamiya spray before. I did notice your primer is a different variation than the one I use. Don't know if that's the problem, maybe someone else can shed some light on that. Could your primer be old?
  9. Nice clean build. Funny how some time goes by and you forget about certain cars. I guess it's called getting older.
  10. Did you clear coat the color shift paint?
  11. The few liquid masks I have seen cautioned against using lacquer paint.
  12. I'm just old school, rarely use CA glue for anything model related. Just doesn't give me enough time. Plus it can "frost" parts. As mentioned above, I use canopy glue. Tape the glass part in with masking tape and glue the untaped areas. After removing the tape, run some more canopy glue if needed.
  13. Mark is correct, I have several of those kits
  14. It's an oil tank you are describing. The HM ones I seen were in Pearson's car. It had angle iron legs on the 4 corners, it didn't sit flush on the floor.
  15. I remember them in the $2 plus range. Used to mow yards for $4 or $5 and go buy a model car and some paint.
  16. You said the black paint job will be a do over, be careful with what you strip it with as some resins don't have a reaction to purple stuff and other chemicals.
  17. Leo, it was Bruce that I was thinking about, he had the ones with the ram.
  18. Turned out real nice, been following along in the WIP
  19. Nice looking resin body, you must have had it awhile, seems the times I have looked at their site, most everything is out of stock. Always interested in any WIP on an AWB.
  20. Someone on here might be able to fill in the blanks. There was a guy doing them, but he passed away suddenly a year or so back. Somebody was supposed to get his files and keep producing his product line.
  21. I like what you did there. Where did you get the sleeper or did you scratch build it.
  22. Check with Slixx decals, they may have something
  23. Noticed some pictures have the window net up, and in others it isn't visible. Did you make it where it folds down somehow?
