  1. Did you clear coat the color shift paint?
  2. The few liquid masks I have seen cautioned against using lacquer paint.
  3. 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.
  4. Mark is correct, I have several of those kits
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Leo, it was Bruce that I was thinking about, he had the ones with the ram.
  9. Turned out real nice, been following along in the WIP
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. I like what you did there. Where did you get the sleeper or did you scratch build it.
  13. Check with Slixx decals, they may have something
  14. Noticed some pictures have the window net up, and in others it isn't visible. Did you make it where it folds down somehow?
  15. Nothing wrong with that.
  16. If you have enough reference material, Terry at STS Decals can make some.
  17. You didn't mention what it's going to be, hopefully the 1/16 Petty Charger.
  18. Never heard of it, but always looking for other sources, so I would be interested in the responses on this.
  19. Personally, I would use a white primer under yellow, the grey primer may dull it.
  20. Slixx has some mini sheets with decals for oil filters, etc
  21. I was following along with your build and you didn't disappoint, really nice build and something not usually seen.
  22. I normally don't mix paints to achieve a certain color, I'm colorblind. So I look for these already made up. MCW now has small jars of unthinned enamels in lots of useful shades such as correct engine colors, tinted carburetor and others.
