    I had one model, MANY years ago, have the Future crack on. It was a new paint I was trying and did not allow enough time for the paint to gas out. From then on I allow paint to gas out for a few weeks and never had an issue again. Been sing Future since early 1980's when I saw it demo at a IPMS meet.

    That was cool thanks!!! Anyone else reedy to go back tot the fifties??? Not just cars.......the people, the mood.....family......... I kept the trend of cars and people alive into the 70's.......

    Check older hardware stores for NOS supply. Per a post on Spotlight it is no longer made and SCJ is out of that biz. There are other floor shine brands that work the same. There is a thread on this forum about the other brands.

    I'd also look at Dupli-color primers, semi gloss black LAQUER.

    I like it!!! Wish we had more kits of open wheelers from 60's & 70's.......in a bigger scale.

    I forgot about the Kar Kare version!!!! IIRC I tried the AMT on the MPC and I think it fit pretty close.
  12. Dave Van
    Not Tim here.....but it looks like the Laguna nose that was included with the AMT Chevelle kit for years, The recent POND kit reissue that part was removed.

    After decals have dried for a week I wash the model wih WARM damp paper towel. NOT soaking the decal....more a damp wipe. I find this cleans things up. A NOTE: I use SOLVASET decal set which may differ over Micro stuff. Here is a black car...you can see they will clean up before clear coat.
  19. Dave Van
    Yes....I do allow layer one to dry 12-24 hours (overnight) before I apply a decal over it. Thx
  20. Dave Van
    Cool project!!!
  21. Dave Van
    Whoever has it.........I want this PYRO kit.......... It is a variation of the Serpent so if it is around.....R2 has it.
  22. Dave Van
    I apply ALL decals then coat with future......always works for me........
  23. Dave Van
    There was a HUGE Daytona like track in a basement in Hickory NC for many years. It was so big it was hard to see your car at the far end!!! Wonder what happened to it....or is it still in that basement. I moved to WV from Charlotte in 2001 so I have not checked!!
  24. Dave Van
    Nice clean work!!! Whos decals?
  25. Dave Van
    I use Future (or whatever replaced it) after decals have been on model a week or two.
