    Jaw-dropping fantastic. Orange/pearl/clear gives a wonderful illusion of a fade paint job on the hood. Kit rims or other?

    Greg, I don't think you should blemish a record of not having owned any Tamiya kits. I'll gladly help you out. Just send them my way! LOL
  3. Bill Eh?
    For manufacturers that I have bought from, Tamiya first. Then in no particular order Fujimi, Hasegawa, Aoshima, Revell ( formerly GMBH ), Heller and Protar.

    Tower Hobbies --> Late April Would it be too much to hope for that a few might be available at the NNL East?

    On the page that Steve linked, you can download a .pdf copy of the intstructions. After clicking on the instructions link, look for 07041. I downloaded a copy. It will be interesting to see if the instructions included in the Motorsport boxing are the same.

    As far as thinning goes, this video from Doctor Crank's Lab-RAT-ory might help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w8KFSUjEl4

    Great pictures. Thank you for posting. More than a few interlopers. Porsche, Maserati, Viper, Bentley, and was there also a Jensen?
  8. Bill Eh?
    I went to the Group 25 Model Car Flea Market and picked up a few things. I really shouldn't as my trip to the NNL East is less than 2 months awy. LOL
  9. Bill Eh?
    Gary, some of those bottles must be quite old. It has been a very l-o-n-g time since those larger size Tamiya bottles have been available in stores around here! LOL

    I'm probably reading to much into this, but "Win A Ride" indicates to me an RC product. On the up side, RC products are sometime indicators of 1/24 plastic kits that might also get released.
  11. Bill Eh?
    It would be nice if they came out before the NNL East rolls around. I will probably buy 2, as well as a 2nd Beswick car. LOL
  12. Bill Eh?
    I picked up the Beswick kit back in November at the Detroit show. I wish I had gotten a couple. Could the delay of the Dyno Don version be a result of Moebius now being in Pegasus' hands?

    Not trying to be smart aleck, but does not the pinned topic "Buying my first airbrush Questions", serve the same purpose. I think the thing that annoys me the most, is the number of people who sign-on to the form, ask a question/opinion, and are never heard from again. LOL
  14. Bill Eh?
    Gregg has made it more than clear as to his position on this. No selling on the board. Trading section works just fine.
  15. Bill Eh?
    But it has been reduced by 20%. And it has easy payments of ONLY $193 for 24 months. What more could you ask for? LOL
  16. Bill Eh?
    fumi, I never thought of it this way before...you are so right! LOL

    Hi Richard, Douglas and Ken have given you some options to consider. I only started following F-1 in '76 when I attended my first two GPs. I have been following ever since. My stash of F-1 kits (1/24, 1/20 and 1/12; Tamiya, Fujimi, Heller, Protar, and ?) falls into the more-than-enough-for-my-lifetime category. LOL

    Tom, Dale and Pete thank you for your detailed explanations. So, although flat paints have the required "tooth" for a colour coat, they unto themselves do not have the necessary adhesion characteristics required to sufficiently stick to the bare plastic surface. I will stick with purpose-made primers, before spraying any acrylic colour/top coats over them. I appreciate this forum for the generosity of the members in taking the time to share their knowledge.
  19. Bill Eh?
    I paint mostly with acrylics. Is there a specific component of acrylic primer which sets it apart from using, say a flat grey or flat white acrylic paint? Does anyone just prime with an acrylic (name your colour) flat coat before applying their acrylic colour coat? My apologies for being lazy. I guess I just need to do a spoon test to find out the answer to this question. I hope all of my fellow forum members are having a happy and restful holiday break.

    Luminess systems typically use airbrushes made by Sparmax. Sparmax does make good quality airbrushes. Even though they are gravity fed, the color cup is usually of a smaller capacity. The part that I would question would be the "compressor". They are designed to output a lower psi, as they are only required to apply makeup. They also do not have any pressure adjustment capability, or the ability to trap moisture. I would also suggest saving for something better, as this product might only lead to frustration, and then giving up entirely on airbrushing. Just my 2 cents.

    This is a link to a build-up of the Tamiya Ford GT, as done by Andy of Andy's Hobby Headquarters. An amazing kit, due out in January 2019.

    Tiago is a member here. He has an awesome Youtube channel, TM Modelkits , where he chronicles his builds through video. You should check his channel out.
  23. Bill Eh?
    But Paul, nowadays Tamiya uses 1/20 for F-1 cars! JK
  24. Bill Eh?
    I'll probably get two of this kit, along with the Revell full detail 2016 LeMans car.
  25. Bill Eh?
    Tom, just a heads up for you. This is a great kit to build, and is unique as an F1 car. It does originate from the days when Tamiya used battery powered electric motors. The structure of the model does still include a battery compartment and a plastic insert which served as the battery compartment door. Bill A.
