Here it's called denatured alcohol , I hope it works .

I received my order yesterday (less than a week ) and they had fixed the shipping price . Over all a good experience and great products .

That is cool . I really like the color . I had a crx for awhile it was a fun car .

I was going to pick one up over the weekend but I read a review that said the cowl shape was way off and they forgot the breather caps so I'm not getting it until they fix those issues.

The union kit is the same as the IMC .

It sounds to me like you like to work on other stuff . Just enjoy that . No one says you have to complete anything. As long as your finding the time to exercise your creative side and having fun doing it ,it doesn't matter man , just go with it.

That is gold plating , so you wouldn't be able to find chrome underneath. or I may be wrong .

Thanks, now I'm stuck watching hundreds of how to make water videos . Joe I know it was your suggestion but it was the " WOW!!! " that caused me to seek it out .

Man, that dude is Stuck. Nice job!

John you have got to be close to modeling enlightenment. If this was in a regular car mag I wouldn't know it's not full size . Great job your work continues to inspire and impress thank you for sharing your talents with us.

Only problem is this stuff adds up fast .

Considering at one time Sears basically provided everything from lumber to livestock even cars via mail that they are failing now seems ironic .

They have this sale every year , so plan ahead!

Great work , I also like the unconventional approach of a team build .

I wonder why they wouldn't get these back together for a reissue. I'd think they would sell better than the engine packs and then maybe they could reconsider the motorcycles.

Update?

That was my first truck model I received as a Christmas gift ,it never occurred to me to question how it would work . I was just happy to have a kit that was worth three times a car kit at the time which made it a big deal to me. Funny how a random picture can bring back memories .

Thanks for the suggestion , I picked up "how to HOTROD Volkswagen engines" off of EBAY . I got the earlier printing with the yellow cover and just the engine pictured . That picture alone answered several questions I had , I can even see where the dipstick is .

Cool project , I haven't owned or worked on any VW engines so I have no idea what the difference is between the Porsche and the VW . I always think I'd like to detail one but then I read posts from VeeDub enthusiasts and realize I don't know what 48 IDA, swing arm that ,92 mm this ,or single port even means . I've googled , purchased books even have a few magazines but can't quite see differences that I hear discussed . I'd like an accurate engine to go with the aforementioned Baja bug . Also how does the Hasegawa Kubelwagen engine compare / or be useful in a build like this ?

The problem with the testors enamels is the dry time . However with the proper solvents this can be remedied . Short answer is Testors is fine when used properly with patience.

A consistent level of detail throughout the entire model . If you BMF the body trim use that same BMF on the interior . If you add spark plug wires then you should add brake lines.

Slightly understated . Great Job on the cab so far. This has to be my favorite transporter ever. I'll have to look for it but I think Motor Trend classics did a write up on the restoration of the truck . If you can find them for a decent price any Dave Friedman book is worth it , his pictures are amazing . I can't wait to see more progress !

Looks cool . I've attempted these but can never get the headlight area to look right ,this looks right .

I think using the liquid glue (not just Testors) is the best all around glue . super glue has it's place but keep it away from clear and plated plastics , it can react and ruin the finish . the old orange tube glue has it's uses also . trial and error will be the best teachers . other glues to try elmers white glue for attaching windows , five minute epoxy for those places that super glue shouldn't go , rubber cement for mock up purposes clear gloss paint for attaching photo etch scripts. theres a million adhesives and a million ways to use them .
