I don't quite think so. My Fujimi Megane seems okay. I have 3 models that I did not clear coat and regretted that.

So can I safely assume that the paint did not react, but simple the cooling period was too short?

Saw these at my LHS. I think it should still be around. Interested? PM me to discuss shipping and payments details.

I keep them in a cupboard. Away from the sunlight. I will have to do some more research on which paint does not like clear coats over them.

Could you explain more on the gas-out problem? I don't seem to understand that very well.

The problem is availability. Hobby paints here is mostly tied down to Tamiya only. Furthermore, they cost around USD $10, which is quite a lot of money. I did use the same silver and clear coat from the same manufacturer and series.

For my silver cars, I used the automotive paints. And so I was wondering, if I used the modified resin based paint, is it safe to coat with with the automotive clear?

I don't quite get it when you said inside out. Do you literally mean from the inside to the outside or something else? I usually do 2-3 mist coats and 3-4 heavy coats. Same goes for the clear. As for the primer, I used the primer from the same manufacturer.

Guys, the culprits. http://www.dpiaerosol.com/aerosol5.htm http://www.dpiaerosol.com/aerosol3.htm

The worst part is that it seems to be spreading like an epidermic. And I did go through quite a hassle trying to get the car to look right. Removing the paint is indeed a painful procedure.

Car was completed some time in May. It is not too visible under direct sunlight, but when up close, it hurts to see it crack like that. Even my Magnum and Mustang has those crack lines.

I'm using some sort of automotive clear. I thought it would of higher quality, and so it seems I may be wrong. So the key is to give is more time to cure?

Guys, I seem to have an emergency here. A few of my kits have hairline cracks on them. Especially those silver ones. Here is a shot.

I was toying with the idea of doing it black. Blue will be reserved for my R34.

Some extra pictures.

Hi guys. I got this kit cheap from my LHS. Unfortunately however, the kit is not in perfect condition. The A-pillars are a little bend in while the B-pillars stick out. :banghead: :banghead: Looks like I have to find some ways to correct it. I worry that I break it, I can't find a replacement, as the car is rare, right? Anyway, here are the pictures. :wink: The manual. The decals. No.7 is broken, so I won't use that. The usual stuff, parts on sprues. The parts that are not on the sprue. Body. Kinda shiny, eh? Problem with bargain kits are these. Darn, a crack.

I went there today. They had a few AMT kits. I also saw a Revell Nascar.

Here's another one. Enjoy.

Yeah. Almost there. It is a GEN-2, but it is the lowest end 1.3L version. Quality issues aplenty.

Nope. Think Malaysian cars.

Nope. try harder.

Hey guys. I think I should show you some pictures and try guessing. Guess what car is this.

Nice Mustang. I like the front. Aren't those rims from the 06 Magnum? Cheers, Eric

For me, I sprinkle some water and seal it in a bag. Leave it in the freezer for a few hours. That should loosen up the glue. Cheers, Eric

Thanks a lot. I will keep those who are interested updated on my that future WIP. Cheers, Eric
