CLEAN with a nice stance.

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.

Yes....I do allow layer one to dry 12-24 hours (overnight) before I apply a decal over it. Thx

Cool project!!!

Whoever has it.........I want this PYRO kit.......... It is a variation of the Serpent so if it is around.....R2 has it.

I apply ALL decals then coat with future......always works for me........

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!!

Nice clean work!!! Whos decals?

I use Future (or whatever replaced it) after decals have been on model a week or two.

I worked in a hobby shop that had a track. LOTS of room needed without a big return on investment. And with online racing that draws many that might run slots. Tough biz.

IIRC that RE Rail kit had vinyl molded plug lines. A feature designer Bob Johnson used on the AM McLaren kit years later.

You may be right!!! I did licensing for a model CO and that did not cross my mind!!!! Thx

I should have said I asked in they were going to have a US distributor like almost every other model company in the world has. They said they could not. ALMOST like it was not possible for them as a manufacture to do so. They said the only way to get product was to buy from AUS hobby shop. Seems odd that a manufacture would not want to sell product to the whole world via a DIST. Thanks

A number I'd not mind buying.....but when I talked to DDA they said they will not sell outside AUS.........Almost like they were not permitted to......any inside on this??? The $47 plus shipping to USA will make them out of rnge for me.

WELCOME! I am not to far near Snow shoe........nice to see more model car guys from WV. There is a model show 3/18 in Charleston FYI........

Was there a hint in issue #218? I have been asking for a long time for a kit Atlantis should have tooling for.

My resin quality was on Modelhaus level. My Nissan IMSA GTO full kit was $75. I did what established coatomers wanted.....I had two master ready to cast but can only do one at a time. They voted on the Nissan over a Roush IMSA Cougar kit. I kinda thought the Nissan would sell better too. But model car guys can be rather thrifty. I manufactured the kit......then crickets. I got $75 is kinda high........I took 4 years to sell through my run and by that time I had lost interest in manufacturing resin kits. Had plans for a bunch......but gave up on all of them. Bottom line is quality alone will not sell resin or 3D. And as for resin the ROI is slim and return is slow. I know I will not return to making production runs in resin. Thanks IMSA Cougar master I went ahead and built....

Thanks for the info......just figured out I have a show on that date already!!!!! Free place to stay with daughter so doin that one! thx

60 F-100 is a block buster of the lest...................

I liked the 'As raced' look. Well done!!

Any vendor info?? Tables left....contact info??

Very well done.

I was able to strip the 'gold' color from old Monogram Paddy Wagon chrome with 92% alcohol.....maybe it will work here.....

Thanks for doing that!!! Looks like a LOT of nice work. Conrats to you and daughter on wins. I wanted to go but I have a big show we will be features at coming on the 23 so just to busy. Thanks
