1964 Comet Crash - Opinions?
Bill Eh? replied to Sledsel's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I can't believe all of the red flags that the driver/builder ignored, immediately before the accident occurred. The fact that he knew the brakes were substandard before taking the car out was telling as well. -
You're in a good position right now, as far as projects go. I do hope you come across one of those Tamiya kits in the future. Many years ago, I spent time building the KTM kit with a nephew. Don't know about the other two, but the KTM kit is awesome.

I have purchased from a few Japanese vendors on eBay, and never had a problem. I have even lucked in on some with free shipping. They have been legitimate. Free shipping usually means they are charging more, for the same kit, as some of their competitors. Mind you, free shipping means that it is going to be sent the cheapest (read slowest) way possible. If you aren't in a hurry, that doesn't matter. The longest I have ever waited was 19 weeks, for purchase from Hobby Search. They are a relatively big-name, non-eBay seller. I had given up on the order, but was pleasantly surprised in the end. one thing that has been consistent in all of my purchases from Japan is how well they have been packed.

Do you mean Hendrick Motorsports Chassis No. 2429, aka 'T-Rex'. This Jeff Gordon Monte Carlo was only raced once. It now resides, fully restored, in the Hendrick Motorsports Museum. I can't specifically tell you which "red" it was painted. Best to get in touch with the HMM to find out.

If you're not in a rush, the best option might be to find one/them on a contest vendor's table, or at a swap meet.. Right now I'm personally anticipating the return of the NNL East in 2023! There are always many amazing vendors that I will gladly give my $$$ to. LOL

Mike, I believe that those particular Tamiya motorcycle kits are long out of production. They would most likely only be available from private sellers, through eBay or Facebook Marketplace. Since they are out of production, they will most likely command a high price.

tamiya paint stand parts
Bill Eh? replied to chris chabre's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I found a pdf of the Instruction Manual. Each part of the set has an identifying number, the instruction sheet as well. the numbers range from 7807140 through 7807144. I could not identify which number goes with which part , except for the clips. It looks, however, that the only part that you can purchase separately are the clips (7807143). -
Yellow Fever Competition Coupe, Keeler's Kustoms
Bill Eh? replied to stavanzer's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Mark, thank you for the advice in your post. This progression of fitting parts makes a lot of sense. i am going to save these steps, as a general guideline to myself, when I am undertaking drag racing subjects. I like drag racing kits, but have minimal experience when building them. Bill -
The best bottled paint mixing balls!
Bill Eh? replied to Dpate's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
When searching Amazon, I found a listing selling various diameter stainless steel balls by weight. 500 g for about $30. The amount you get varies with the diameter. I bought the 3 mm size ( 1/8 in. ). 500 g of that size equated to a little over 4000. I have a lifetime supply and it was free shipping. I made some packages of about 100 and gave them to my modelling friends. -

Round "Micro" Diamond Files
Bill Eh? replied to Straightliner59's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Greg, I bought my set after seeing Daniel's initial post. The link that Joe provided, sadly does not ship to Canada. The best price I could find was through Amazon.ca. Going through my purchase history, I have this link: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B007WQQKTU?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details They are worth it, especially when replicating tube frames or roll cages. -
Bob, I really like the first line of your signature.

With kits of this vintage, you have to ask yourself which is more important to you, the journey, or the destination. For me it's the journey or the process of building. For others it is all about the destination or final product. These are not always mutually exclusive. Sometimes you have both, sometimes not. LOL

Just to clarify Tom's response, Paasche refers to the tip sizes for the H as 1, 3, and 5. These numbers to not correspond to either inch or millimetre values Tip 1, as Tom said is 0.45 mm. Tip 3 is 0.75 mm, and Tip 5 is 1.05 mm Tip 1 should be adequate to spray large areas, such as a car's body. If this does not deliver sufficient paint, go up to Tip 3. Tip 5 would be overkill. LOL

19 Weeks, 4 Days later, this detail-up set finally arrived. I had cheaped-out on shipping and had given up on having it arrive at all.

Let's See Some Glue Bombs!
Bill Eh? replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
When I first saw this, I could only think that I sure hope that I'm seeing white school glue! LOL
