Don't use the Tamiya thin glue to attach painted surfaces. That stuff will seep out of the joint and ruin the finish( guess how I know). I'd use it only to do basic assembly. Their thicker glue ( orange cap) works great for anything.

I have a an old bottle of Future, easily 20 years old, and something is yellowing, either the Future itself or the bottle. So I'd say that, given enough time, Future might turn yellow.

D.A.A.M. members will also be judging the Autorama contest as well.

You'll have a great time! Bring buddies.

I recall reading about the differences between the coupe and convertible bodies and then comparing my two kits. I saw how they were different but I had forgotten which one was off. Thanks.

Congratulations on finishing that model. How did you manage to get the front suspension pieces to play nice with each other? That's what's holding progress on my build of this car.

Great!!! Bring lots of model buddies!

The D.A.A.M. spring show is March 27th, 2022 at the Macomb County Community College South Campus,12 Mile Road and Hayes in Warren, Michigan. 9 a.m to 3 p.m. Still only $5 admission which also covers the entry into the judged contest regardless of the number of entries for the contest. Over 300 vendor tables. Come see why many are calling our show the best in the region! The college is requiring a mask to enter the building.

A fellow D.A.A.M member was selling off some kits so I got a Revell '69 Dart G.T.S., MPC '57 Chevy Gasser, Tamiya Raybrig NSX, Focus WRC car,and '72 Skyline hardtop, the first issue of the newer Revell '30 Model A coupe, and a Moebius '70 Ford F-100 4X4.

Wow, I want so many. Ferrari 330 GTC, Chrysler Airflow, '58 Edsel, Mercedes 500E, '41 Packard LeBaron Sport Brougham, '67 G.T.O. ,'67 Olds 442 , and a Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzione 16V rally car to start.

Interesting. I've never seen an '84 with a clock on the console, only in the radio. I'll have to check my sales brochure.

One of these years I'm going to build a model of my '84 Z-28. Mine has the H.O. engine so the dual snorkel air cleaner is coming from the Miami Vice Daytona kit(!). The '82-'83 kit console and dash need modification to do an '84- no clock in the console on an '84 and the dash air vents need altering( my car is a non a/c car).

But that's not a '71.

Being 1958 there's probably contact points in the control box. Heaven forbid that the point gap gets too big.

I wonder if you bought an old can that lost pressure. Change the nozzle and if that doesn't cure the problem, yup, it's a bad can.

I was going to suggest using pieces of old bed sheet.

I bought it at a place called Whistle Stop. It's the closest hobby shop to my house.

Except for an AMT '40 Willys( that was built in the last 25 years) I've never had a tire melt problem. I have original 60s and 70s vintage MPC, JoHan, and AMT kits and there's no tire melt. Was this more of a problem with Revell or Monogram kits?

The Accurate Miniatures Corvette Grand Sport kits have an intake manifold for Weber carbs( along with a beautiful set of 4 Webers).

Picked up my copy last night at the LHS. Very entertaining and informative so far( even with a couple of spelling errors),

Your continuation of the Art Car series?

Nah, that's not overboard, You're just getting started!

'41 Packard Le Baron Sport Brougham, A Chrysler Airflow, '92 or '93 Mercedes 500 E, a Chevy HHR SS, and I want back my '71 Firebird Formula 455 H.O. 4 speed .

The roof on the real car looks like it came from a '66 or '67 GM A body with the buttresses trimmed off.
