Thanks Tom.

Thanks Bob. Yes it is the ARII kit. Never saw one before this.

I bought a package of 10 or 12. They work very well but you need to be real careful around edges.

Thank you Ray.

Thanks Hugh. The more I use Pearl Ex powders, the more I like them. Merry Christmas.

Thank you Wayne & Tom. Merry Christmas fellas.

I like the darker blue.

Thanks Randy. Found a source for them - http://www.plazajapan.com/categories/Plastic-Model/Arii/Car-%26-Bike/

Thanks guys. The box says it's a IMEX ARII kit. Never heard of them. The worst part of the kit is how/where parts attach to the trees - especially the chrome parts. Seems the parts attach right at the finish portion. Need to do lots of chrome touch ups. The battery goes on the right side front wheel well. There's a shelf molded in for it. The box art clearly shows show whitewall tires. I used white acrylic paint for them. If the kit had decals, I didn't get them, so maybe the whitewalls are decals.

Thank you Dennis.

Merry Christmas everyone. Here's my latest completion, a 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. I tried tried something different on this build with the paint. I mixed some Pearl Ex spring green with HOK SG100 interclear and shot the car. Didn't wire the engine and didn't even paint the chassis because it was molded in black.

Well said Scott.

Pretty cool little buggy.

Gorgeous in SHINY

Unreal. Fantastic. Amazing. Can you tell I REALLY like your dio?

Thanks Kevin. Everyone has to start somewhere, Harry.

Thank you Jeff and Don.

Maybe it is, Don, but I'm having fun and learning things from all you wonderful builders.

That's great news, Joe. Thanks.

Don't need a leather jacket but an engraved exacto would be cool. Does the society have a membership card, Kevin?

I joined this forum way back on April 16, 2008. If I did it correctly, this will be the 13,000th post made here. I'm ready for the gold MCM watch now.

Welcome Jeff.

Welcome Paul.
