  1. If you are looking for small tubing, I bought an assortment of hypodermic tubing from Ted's Modeling Marketplacehttp://www.tedsmodelingmarketplace.com/ Trumpeter also sells small telescopic tubing, here is a link at Elm City Hobbies http://www.elmcityhobbies.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=73_395&zenid=16278c27c6d6a70aa6f26082ec9efa33 Hope this helps.
  2. Check out Hart's Parts Resin, http://www.hartspartsresin.com/resin-parts-list/revell-monogram. They have the seat you need about halfway down the page.
  3. The Yenko Nova originally came with the stock SS hood, so the kit is correct. The Baldwin Motion cars had the Stinger type hood.
  4. Mine has layers of paint buildup.
  5. You are correct. There was suppose to be a total of 50 Hemisfears built. Not sure if actual production reached 50, but there were a few for sure.
  6. Thanks Wayne!! Performance Detail Products, that is a name I havn't heard in a very long time. I wish they were still around, they had some awesome products.
  7. Looks awesome!! I always liked any of the Bud Faubel "Honker" cars. What kit did you use? Who are PDP and how do you get thier decals?
  8. I noticed that Acu-Stion is offering a white metal engine for this kit. Just curious, Why? Is there something wrong with the kit engine? Or is this just another bunch useless overly priced Acu-Stion parts.
  9. I wasn't sure if regular lacquer thinner would work, I have seen reactions with Mr Color Leveling Thinner and another I can't remember.
  10. You thin Tamiya bottled surface primer with Tamiya lacquer thinner. If you try any other lacquer thinner, you will have problems.
  11. Just a tip when cleaning, USE the blue Iwata lube on the needle. Without it you can easily push the needle too far and split the tip.
  12. There is an idea, tool up new AAR hood and the proper set of wheels and we have a good approximation of Joe Rogan's Foose designed, Rad Rides built Sick Fish cuda.
  13. That is the standard size of the Studio27 packaging. You can estimate the size of the etched screen relative to the packaging now that you have the package size.
  14. I am hoping they do these as highly detailed full kits, rather than a simplified glue kit.
  15. I vote for the 56 F-100 and the Grandmaster (seen this in person a few times... gorgeous car).
  16. We can hope Tamiya will do a new Aston Martin like they did the Mercedes Gull Wing.
  17. Here is a side by side comparison of the redlines from Modelhaus and Replicas & Miniatures. All three sets have separate red resin redline insert. A - Modelhaus T-426, soft rubber B - Replicas & Miniatures, Hard black resin, T-3 Goodyear G70-14 (.610" ID, 1.050" OD, .340" Wide) C - Replicas & Miniatures, Hard black resin, T-5 Goodyear G70-15 (.610" ID, 1.090" OD, .380" Wide)
  18. Note that the "new tool" amt street machine kit has different frame and floor pan, tubbed and narrowed rear clip with 4 link suspenaion I believe.
  19. Try eBay and add a search notification when one comes up. I was looking for MCG billet aluminum air cleaner for the 1967 GTX, gorgeous piece and hard to find. Eventually one came up on eBay and I got my email notification.
  20. The Camaro in the first picture looks like code LL Teal Blue.
  21. I can notice the difference immediately, much better. The window sill is level in the articles picture and angled up in the corrected picture.
  22. Will you be selling the frame when it is completed?
  23. Thanks Curt, I have already ordered a couple sets.
  24. Do you have a link to his website to order from?
  25. Both interiors look great. I am itching to try this for myself. I would also like to try the acrylic paint technique, but can't seem to find a suitable piece to take the mold from. A friend of mine uses another technique, he uses colored plastic laces for making wallets that you find at a craft store. Don't need to paint it and you can do two tone interiors by alternating the lace colors.
