Very cool! That thing looks mean. Nice work.

The master cylinder looks great. Excellent work. Really digging the colours, too. That Mustang is going to look freaking cool.

Looking good!

Your Cooper is fantastic. Wonderful job. I really enjoyed watching it come together. I like the last photo with the Lotus XI. Not many cars are dwarfed by a Lotus XI, but the Cooper looks absolutley tiny. Thanks for sharing your great build.

Yup, my recommendation as well. I also find that most of the Monogram 1/24 scale muscle car kits go together without much fuss.

Great looking Bug. Excellent work on the added details. Nice conversion to slot car. Well done.

Great tip! Cheers.

I see Micro-Mark sells a Badger branded paint filter Badger In-Jar Paint Filter (micromark.com) I bought one of these years ago, but have never tried it.

Great project. Great subject. I'll be watching this one.

I recently purchased some Aizu thin masking tape from Hobbylinc Japan, available in a few narrow widths. Haven't tried it yet, but the stuff has good reviews. The other tapes below are from HLJ as well, including Tamiya masking tape in widths of 1, 2, and 3 mm.

Very nice! A very fine model can be built from these old, simple kits, as you have so clearly illustrated. A nice build from a blossoming era in Grand Prix racing machines.

Cool! Nice build of one of F1's more interesting creations. Looks great. I miss the days when thinking outside the box was not only tolerated, it was encouraged. So much free-thinking engineering going on in the 60s and 70s. I was so glad that this car won a race, thereby validating the wild six-wheeled design.

Cheers, Frank. That's a shame, they had some cool products.

Gorgeous Miura. Very nicely done.

Wow! What cool find. I hope there will be a WIP thread on the build.

Very snazzy. Impressive display.

Nice work. Just got to love the shape of that body.

If you are looking for a decal solvent, you want MicroSol rather than MicroSet. However, I do find Tamiya Mark Fit Strong to be more aggressive than MicroSol. You should test it first on a spare decal from the sheet you intend to use, as it is strong enough to destroy some decals.

Beautiful!

Wow! That’s the best build I’ve seen of any Revell Chevy pickup. Beautiful work.

Very cool! Been curious about the Monogram 904 kit. I love the 904. The one in the shop is sweet lots of cool machinery there. Never heard of the Hasegawa/Monogram alliance before. Were there other kits from this venture?

Great looking wagon, Mike. Nicely done.

Agreed. Sharp looking convertible. The colour complements the lines.

Interesting model. The old school treatment works well on it. I like it. Is this 1/32 or 1/25?

Interesting. Never heard of it, but just checked it out. Interesting stuff, available in many colours. I can’t tell if it’s a foil or mylar. None of the reviews say, but it appears more flexible than I would expect of mylar. For your chrome stripes, Line O Tape offers their pinstripe tape in chrome. It’s available in widths up to 1/8”, which is .007” (about 3/16” in 1/25 scale ) wider than 3 mm. I have some of the 1/64” chrome tape and just measured its thickness at .0035”, or 3 1/2 thou. It’s a mylar type tape.
