  1. 2 cents worth...really good job...did you mix the paints or one over the other...
  2. Been awhile since I checked this topic,great pics,how about some interior pics with everything together and maybe a front shot of the eng.. The model instr'ns show the fuel pump on the r.side... Thanks...
  3. I have access to just about everything... thanks for the info and will put all to good use...
  4. I'm new to airbrushing and would like help with choosing paints... So far I've heard of createx,vallejo and zero... Createx comes in transparent and opaque,are the differences obvious or is there more to it... I've heard that zero paints attack styrene... so I would appreciate any info...thanks
  5. I've seen an interior pic of MT's hudson with a section cut out of the front seat to make room for a floor shifter,any info on this...
  6. I finally gave up trying to scratch build an electric water pump,my fingers are just too big and clumsy, so,does anyone have some suggestions... are these available aftermarket...
  7. thanks alot for the info...
  8. fuel filters and fuel line t-connectors are really hard to make in scale(1/25) and even harder to find aftermarket... anyone have any ideas/suggestions or tutorials...
  9. really good work and I'm jealous of the very clean panel lines,how the heck do you do that...
  10. I just got the marshall teague kit... It's basicly the tim flock kit with m.teague decals... One pic of the actual car shows a floor shifter with part of the seat cut out... Gonna do more research and see what else needs to be done...
  11. I'm looking for info on scratchbuilt shocks and coilovers incl tube size(plastic)...
  12. thanks for the pics,very helpful and ditto on the axle... I got a dual carb induction kit from SMBC to make the box pic eng.... I might have the correct headers,if not,a hunting I will go...
  13. thanks for the info guys... the kit I have is the "Model King Motorhead/extraordinaire AMT/ERTL... I was referring to the collaberation on the Hudsons and the 300's,I should have been more explicit...
  14. I noticed they show 2 diff. eng.for this car,has someone built this car with either eng... I'd appreciate any info/pic about the engines...thanks after looking over the body it looks like a stock body and you have to modify the body so it looks more like the car that the kit is supposed to represent... the whl wells need to be cut,the vent window needs removing,the r. whls need dechroming and the glass needs to be cut,and I haven't even ck'ed the eng.,but the eng. in the kit is not what the box pic shows.. I think for 26 bucks there should no major reconstructing... I'm guessing that Moebius did the majority of work on the models that are associated with... I don't usually complain like this but I'm not impressed with Model Kings own models...
  15. thanks guys...
  16. I'm building m/t's challenger l by revell... I searched for info about the color of blue with no luck,any info would be greatly appreciated... how 'bout the eng. color too...
  17. great job,from what I read,the eng. bay was a very lite blue that looks white(alice blue or azure blue) I have the Lindberg kit #72164,now in the box pic it shows chrome wheels,but no chrome wheels in kit what are the wheels on your car...
  18. good job,love the windows... does it have to be testors...
  19. I preordered 2 kits last week and the price was reasonable and I'm looking forward to doin some old nascars...
  20. where can I get resin carter quads or comparable...
  21. Looks like a good start,will also follow with interest... what kit are you using...and where are you getting the decals from...
  22. I've been using drain cleaner,drano/liquid plumber with great results,what I've observed is the length of time it takes to desolve the chrome really depends on the quality of the plating...
  23. Thanks...
  24. never heard of it,from where...
  25. I've been using micro sol and no complaints,I saw testors and badger offer setting solutions. what do you guys use/why...
