I'm very lucky that way mate. Typical Queensland winter, low twenties right now, has been cold though 0-1 at night and 15 in the day, that's cold for us, as you would know, winter usually around 22/23, beautiful. I have to spray outside anyway, the wife cracks up about the smell, even outside, I have to wear my mask, so I know how she feels. Keep in touch. Don

Thanks Peter. I never thought about car kits this way. Just don't want to buy a lemon. Don

😄point taken Don

Having just returned to the model car building scene, I have never purchased a MPC kit, so how do they rate compared to Revell and AMT? Good or bad guys? Don

Hey Stu, what part of Oz are you from? And yes great forum, being getting lots of help from the guys here.

Not much on offering today, well that I could afford, picked up this '25 T kit. Happy with that. Don

Funny you should say that, I nearly took the top off my index finger LH, last week. The older you get the more stupid you get, not referring to you mate, just me. That was last weeks accomplishment 🙄 Don

Think I can get away with the wet sand and reshoot, Michael, gonna give it a good shot first with fingers crossed. err might be better without the fingers crossed. 🙄 Don

I got to put a bloody big fingerprint on my recently painted '40 - impatience always my main problem. will I never learn. Don

Thanks. I haven't tried the "pin", I basically clean up the parts test fit them, paint and glue them in place. As yet I have never fully assembled a model and then pulled it apart again for paint. being inexperienced, I true to not remove the parts from the tree until I am ready to cleanup and then test fit them. I sort of sectionize so I don't get all the parts mixed up, particularly the very small parts.

Thats one big rig. Thats gonna take some putting together.😁 Don

Mate, I new to this as you would have gathered by my posts, (many questions), I'm thinking maybe I'm approaching this all wrong. I trial fit, then if all okay, paint and glue in. The reason I ask, is I see with this model you have it assembled unpainted, how do you do that without glueing, as you have to pull it apart to paint. What am I missing?

These arrived this morning - happy chappy. More for the stash Don

Welcome mate, I'm pretty new here myself. Don

Just one day I would like to build models like this. Don
