Bill Eh?

Today was the Group 25 Model Car Contest. After helping with the setting up, I bought 12 raffle tickets. During my time in the vendor room, I bought some kits from great friends/vendors, including some wheel and tire sets. After helping with the judging, I thought best check my raffle tickets before heading home. It was a good thing that I did because I won four kits as raffle prizes. The first pics are my kit purchases. The next pics are the wheel and tire sets. The last pics are my raffle prizes. I am extremely happy with my raffle wins as the tickets only cost me $10.

Another purchase from Maple Airbrush Supplies in Edmonton, AB. 2 sets of needle packing for H & S airbrushes (123450), and 4 sets of needle packing screws for Iwata ( I 725 1 ). The Iwata part will allow me to update my older Iwata Revolution HP-CR to make it solvent proof.

Sure, go ahead.

I live in Toronto, ON. There are some great shops in T.O., but my favourite is half hour east of me in Whitby, ON, Dailey Hobbies.

Back of EnkeiDish box. Both sets are both 1/24 scale.

I bought both sets at my LHS. The Slots are boxed as ENKEIDISH, and yes they are 4 lug. The Cragar SS are boxed as American SS. Both are 15". The decals appear to be licence plates. I can't make out the bottom part of the decal sheet. The larger piece of white paper behind the decal sheet is only a protective sheet. Here are some pictures.

Or a case of agree to disagree.

Here's another look at the contents, if that helps.

I believe the Youtube channel was Scale Model Experiment. I'm not sure as to which specific video, but here's a link to that channel's videos. https://www.youtube.com/@ScaleModelExperiment/videos

Kijiji strikes again. I notified fellow model club members of the listing and provided them with a list of kits available. The combined order was finalized yesterday, mailed yesterday and arrived today! Lots of Japanese goodness. First three kits go to friend Alex. Next two kits go to friend Ken. The next kit goes to friend Peter. The remainder go to friend ME! LOL

Ken, I just scrolled through all of the paints that Michael's had listed under the Golden brand. The only choices offered as spray cans were Archival Varnish Clear and Archival Varnish Satin. I don't think that I would pursue either of these as top coat for my car models, but who knows...

Although hardly an art store, Michael's does carry Golden Acrylics in the "artist" section. I too like to visit DeSerres, especially for the artist grade acrylic paints that they carry.

Thanks Dan. A great turnout of spectacular cars!

Pebeo is a well known, quality brand from France. I bought a multi pack of acrylics in tubes from Michaels. They were a thick artists' consistency, but they thinned with additional thinner. They sprayed well with an airbrush. If you can use a 30% off coupon, that would bring the price down to about $13, which wouldn't be that bad, considering a can has 65% more paint than a can of Krylon Short Cuts.

For the most part, F1 modellers turned away from Revell 1/24 F1 kits, as they were not the established/accepted scale.

Pat, nice buildup of the Bond Bug.

Milo, from your posting history, appear to be enthusiastic about your model building. I believe you might benefit from some airbrush instruction that covers the various types, how they work and their pluses and minuses. Try typing "youtube types of airbrushes" into a browser and viewing some of the suggested videos.

If that's true, then in my mind they got it right.

They make up the majority of what I buy (90%), and the majority of my stash. ?

WOW, WOW, WOW! YES, YES, YES!

Man, that paint job is amazing.

Even if you remove the precision critical pieces (sprue cutters, pin vice/bits), the remaining parts of the package are still a good deal at that price. I believe Peter is correct in that titling it a Gundam tool kit is a marketing device to entice that segment of builders. It could very well have been called a (Plastic) Modelling tool kit.

Sorry Andy, I'm not a big Burt Reynolds fan. LOL Thanks for contributing. I think I saw the first 2 or 3 in the theatre. Les, you're right, at least a few of these need to be added. Thanks. Happily, these are two that I do have already. Thanks. Absolutely!

Greg, I saw this one in the theatre and enjoyed it. My good friend Peter has rekindled my interest in NASCAR/stockcars. Thanks. I have not played this game, however the translation into a movie looks promising. Thanks I have not heard of this one, but the reference to Enzo means I have to look into it. Thanks.
