  1. de-soldering braid comes in several useful sizes and has a very accurate braid, but it is copper coloured so must be painted with the appropriate metaliser paint.
  2. Check out the drilled lower control arm.
  3. It's hard to add to the previous comments, but WOW, did you ever nail the details on this. The weathering and engineering are superb. This has to be the finest scale belly tanker I have seen yet. Outstanding!
  4. Yeah, there is a lot of P1800 in there. The design requires refinement, but with some work I think I could like this. It is certainly different, and has more potential than most vehicles from that part of the world. Neat.
  5. The Macho Mustang is one of my favorite kits from my childhood. Be aware that this kit is all race car. No stock parts at all.
  6. Beer can aluminum would work. It's about .004 - .006" thick and easy to work with. It's one of my favorite scratch building materials.
  7. The Special Edition moniker is meaningless. It's just marketing hype. Inside the box is a Revell model car kit. Nothing special about it.
  8. Very nice restoration. Beautiful car.
  9. A beautiful Lotus 29. Nicely done!
  10. Cool! That's two Revell oldies in the same day. Nice work on this quirky old rod. This kit and the T-Bone Stake always intrigued me as a kid. Nice job on this one. Very cool! Kind of makes me want to look for an old T-Bone

    OOB Mysterion

    This is freaking cool! Perhaps the tidiest build I've seen of this kit. Very well done.
  12. Nice work. Glad to see this kit being built. I bought one about 4 or 5 years ago, and I fully intend to build mine. I'll be watching to see how this goes together.
  13. If you are building for maximum race car realism; paint, polish (but not show car shiny) then decal. Apply wax gently (I use Tamiya wax). Forget the clear. When it comes to ultimate realism, nothing looks worse than a race car with clear.
  14. Wow! Never heard of Beemax Models before. Just googled them; they have some nice looking stuff.
  15. That's very good to know, thanks. It is also safer with regard to the build up and discharge of a static charge. Not a good thing in an atmosphere of volatile vapor
  16. That is a beautiful Ute. Wonderful vision and excellent work. I love it!
  17. Your Porsche is gorgeous. You did a great job, and the colour choices are spot on. The effort to get it together really paid off. Nice work!
  18. Looking great so far. I have been wanting to do a '64 Lightweight for some time now. I'll be watching this one.
  19. Beautiful Ferrari! I love the 250 LM, and you have done a fantastic job building this one. Nice detailing. This kit builds up better than I thought it would. Well done.
  20. That is a gorgeous Lotus. Your hard work in taming the stance paid off well, as you have captured the essence of the Lotus nicely. Nice work on the details. Simply beautiful.
  21. Cheers Paul. The car ID is the one bit I know.
  22. Very cool! I'm digging the period vibe and this is one of the best applications of white wall slicks I've seen yet. Love it!
  23. That thing is freaking cool! Nicely done.
  24. Very nice! Both have that great 70s vibe. Love the colour on the Dart.
