Hey guys, I'm trying to overcome my dread of painting with an airbrush. I have a really nice Badger model 150 dual action but I don't really like the dual action and I haven't had good luck with it. I bought Donn Yost's airbrush DVD and he suggests this Paasche kit. I found this auction on Ebay and it looks like a good deal and may be just what I need to start doing some nice paint jobs? What do you guys think? http://www.ebay.com/itm/PAASCHE-H-Single-Action-AIRBRUSH-SET-KIT-AIR-COMPRESSOR-/190841131008?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c6f049000#ht_5602wt_986

Now I just need to find some "galvanized" paint! LOL

That looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is really cool!!!!!!!!

Very cool!!!!!!!!

Looks like a model to me.

I need to get me some of those Thermoking decals!

It almost looks like a Zinger! It just needs a giant motor sticking out of the engine bay!

Talk about a pucker factor!!!!!!!!!!

Now I do agree with you on this! If you notice, I've never said anything negative about Revell. They are one of my most favorite model companies. I would never want anyone to lose thier job over something so trivial as a model kit as well. I even made a secondary post on Facebook asking everyone to keep the posts civil as the intent is not to bash Revell but simply to voice our opinion on something we're not happy with. The body is the only thing in this kit I'm not happy with. The rest of the kit is beautiful!!!!!!!! I was really enjoying building it! I just wish Revell would take into concideration that there are many, not just me that are unhappy with the body and maybe, just maybe they will consider redoing it. Maybe they won't? It never hurts to try to convince them though.

Darin, I don't understand why you are trying so hard to prove a point here? If your happy with the kit then why are you constantly trying to keep us from voicing our opinions. If we're not happy with the kit, don't we have the right to say something about it?? Every time someone posts a valid point you get on a mission to discredit them. Why? Are you trying to change all of our minds on how we view this kit? It's not going to happen. Was that post you made on Facebook really necessary? What good does it do to put Jason down???? It seems like all your wanting to do is cause an argument here. All of us that are unhappy with the kit are giving our review of it. We're not happy with it. If you are, that's all you have to say. Quit defending Revell like you have stock in the company. You've made your point. We all know how you feel. No need to keep repeating it every other post.

Here's how I'm painting mine. This is a stock unit.

Hey Bradley, they are a liitle bit wide but I think they will look good on all four corners of the CHP unit I would like to build. Kind of Pursuit Special that's made for high speed handling! That and I have had them for a few years. Time to use them on something! They are molded very nicely!!!!!! Just very tiny specs of flash in a hole or two that almost falls out. The center caps are offered with the Ford logo, blank or with the Thunderbird emblem. You have to specify which when ordering. If the center cap is supposed to be a tiny bit convex, I would think you could press it into something concave (face down) to give it the slight convex shape? They are pretty thin.

Here's some pics of the kit wheel and tire compared to the Replicas and Miniatures resin wheel with the BFG tire that is available from Ma's Resin.

I saw all the previous pictures of buildups as prototypes. There was no way to know if the final product was going to look exactly like that. You really can't judge it until your holding it in your hand. Pictures can hide a lot in plain sight.

.78 converts to 19.81 mm

When I wrote my email to Revell, I asked them to please take the time to visit this forum as well as a couple on Facebook to see what everyone is saying about this kit.

I haven't heard anything about them in a while? I want to order some tires I found the website with pictures and order info and sent an email but have not heard back yet.

I just put them in the BF Goodrich rubber tires from the Otaki/ARII wheel sets (the front tires) and they fit like a glove!!!!! The overall ending diameter of the RoM wheel in that BFG tire is 1.04 whereas the kit wheel and tire measures 1.06. Gonna have to contact Norm and get some more!!!!! (If they decide to correct the body and I buy more kits..: ) Also, Alan at Ma's Resin casts these BFG tires. They are part # 89.

For anyone that may be wondering, I bought the Replicas and Miniatures resin Ford ten hole wheels with the intent of some day building an LX CHP cruiser. I was curious to see if they would work with this kit. They are stated to be 1/24 scale and are made to fit Monogram tires but I think if they were put in a lower profile tire, they would look good on this kit! The benefit of using these is that they are wider, have photo etch center caps and tiny little valve stems you have to glue on. They're really nice!!!! The kit wheels measure .65 in dia. and are .29 in width. The RoM wheels measure .71 in dia. and are .42 in width. RoM part #RM-17C.

William, have you talked with Eric at P&P Resin Works? I know he would probably be interested!

Not sure if anyone has ever posted this but this is a video of a brand new IROC Z Camaro with only 4.3 miles on the odometer,was taken off the car carrier in 1985, placed on a tow truck and delivered to this guy that put it into this semi trailer. It has been sitting in there ever since. It still has the protective plastic covering the seats, steering wheel and drivers door panel! Lower chin spoiler was never even installed! Wheels were sold to fund the project as the guy bought it to build a race car out of it. There's pics of it all cleaned up and IROC wheels installed on www.thirdgen.org Pretty cool. Like goin back in time!

Finally!!!!!!! Now maybe I can get some sleep!!

Dang it!!!!!! Ya'll beat me too it! I was gonna say cow L induction hood!

LOL
