Excellent start to your new scale model building hobby!

This was part of the info I was after with my original question...are different brands of resin more prone to warpage than others? In my limited usage of resin parts, it seems that the tan resins are more durable than the white, styrene-like resins.

Thank you for the non-condescending reply Art!

Here's a good site with kit reviews of probably any plane that would be used in this CBP... Warbirds kit reviews

Welcome to the site Drew!!!

Sorry professor, with temps/sun barely warm enough to melt ice cream, I wouldn't think it would be an issue...been doing this with styrene for 30+ years & never had a problem. I'm going to go running with scissors now...

I'm in with a Revell 1:48 P-39...this could be just what some of us need for the automotive "builder's burnout"! Thanks for this gents!

I use Duplicolor Chevy engine orange from the auto parts store, large can will spray ALOT of 1/25 scale engines, & it's a perfect match (My Impala has it's original engine paint on it).

I've had an issue lately with resin parts warping while drying in the sun...here in NE Ohio lately, the temps have been nice (mid 70s) with low humidity, perfect for priming & painting in paint booth #1 (outside). Just wondering if anyone else experiences this with their resin stuff, these parts are the white resin that look like styrene, not the amber-colored resin. Been using dark-colored primers for one thing which absorbs the heat more, but at these low temps and only sitting in the sun for about 15 minutes, I wouldn't think it would be an issue... Is this resin more prone to warpage than the yellowish stuff?

Very nice! I like 68 Impalas!

That looks like a Jeep Liberty, not a Toyota!

Welcome to the site Brandon! Our friend Alan Raab of Ma's resin casts the V-12 you're looking for, here's his link:Ma's resin V-12s Top quality castings & great prices, too!

And if the corrections turn out the way you plan, could be a good candidate for a resin cast...

Aaron, if you would like to trade one of these beds for something, drop me a PM please

Nice scratchbuilding! We'll be watching...

Cool project! You stole that one offroad models site

SWEET F-body Rory!

Turned out GREAT!!!

Great job! Please tell us about the 8-lug rims, have never seen that stock style in kit form...

Very nice replication! And BTW, welcome to the site!

That's a beauty! What black paint did you use to replicate the vinyl finish? Looks very realistic...

Looks like you still have your skills! I didn't realize the Syclone kit was so inaccurate...I guess they saved money by leaving the chassis like a standard S-15 Not sure on the flocking, if it was black & you put it on wet black paint or the floor is molded in black & you used clear paint as adhesive, it should be black...

Nice job, Jon! I had a goofy uncle that built a 1:1 mutant Corvair from two, using the front clip from one in place of the rear clip on the other...couldn't tell if the thing was coming or going!

Welcome Michael!

How about a Jeep CJ-8 Scrambler transkit for the now discontinued Revell CJ-7 kit?
