  1. Corey, you wanted the kit number for the re-release. I provided that with the ScaleMates link.

  3. My only disappointing experience with a knock-off was with a Veda airbrush. I always learn to disassemble new airbrushes, prior to use. After using and then cleaning the Veda, I started the reassembly process. I was reinstalling the needle chucking guide back into the body. When properly installed, the threaded portion should stop turning. It did not with this airbrush, and the needle chucking guide just kept advancing in the airbrush body until it was way forward of the trigger location. That airbrush was cannibalized for useful and usable spare parts (needle spring, needle chucking nut, etc.). It was no great loss as it was $20 something when purchased. It was a lesson learned though, with no cheap airbrush purchases to follow.

  5. That's the same lack of careful packing that I've experienced from Amazon's model shipping. Looks like lots of pieces have been removed from the sprue in the picture. I sure hope that it is complete.
  6. I'm heading down to the NNL East shortly. Besides great models on the tables, I'm thinking that the vendors might have some items of interest. So what shows up today? My order from Hobby Search. LOL
  7. That Supra looks flawless. I look forward to seeing it in person next week.
  8. Thanks Ken. The artwork is good. But the artwork combined with a tin box is not enough to entice me into buying another.
  9. Would I be correct in assuming that the contents will be the same as those in this boxing? I have a couple of this version as well as an original.
  10. Another possibility with Tamiya acrylics, start with Hull Red XF-9 and adjust that to your liking. X-3 (Red) and X-9 (Brown) are gloss acrylic paints. A blend of these would require a dull coat. Tamiya XF paints are flat colours.
  11. I've been following F1 for almost 50 years. In most cases, recent F1 drivers' careers last until they reach their 30s, rarely their 40s Brad Pitt (ageism factor) as an F1 driver.... hahahaha!
  12. I have plenty of Tamiya tape. I'll try that first and then the"chemical" methods. Thanks.
  13. Thanks Elliot. I have no doubt that WD40, like Goo Gone, will remove any adhesive as well. I might be hoping for the impossible, but would like to minimize damage to the box top.
  14. I started with Les Budge's suggestion with a hairdryer. Thanks Les. Jim, I think I will also try your suggestion on an inconspicuous portion of the box lid. With the hairdryer method, the paper portion of the label came off, but not the adhesive. If the Goo Gone does not adversely affect the box top, I think I'll start by applying light amounts with a Q-Tip. Thanks for your suggestion.
