Is the dial a hand washing soap or dishwashing soap? The handsoap has moisturizers in it which can be causing your problem.

Nice job. Wheels look right on it.

Chris what about putting a little lacquer thinner on a q tip and see if you can restore the letter.

I don't think the red paint is the issue. How old is the primer. Also the 1000 may be light to start with you might want to use the 600 before the primer. You really need to be sure that you scuff the entire body. You might want to try some experiments with spoons. Do want you did originally on one with the 1000 and another with 600. side note you should open a new topic in modeling questions. Call it paint problems or something to the effect. More people will see it and somebody else that is having the same problems is more likely to see. You will also make the mods happy also.

Bill great update. The engine looks real. Thanks for sharing your build process.

Yeah Art I wss thinking that also but he's going to use the tamiya 12th scale Datsun parts for the drivetrain so that why the12th scale.

I agree with you guys 100 percent. Also if the quality process is flawed it doesn't make a differnce whether it in house or subcontracted. Second when you have the bean counters wanting the subcontractors to make it cheaper quality is going to suffer.

Very nice. Love it.

Nice start.

There's a designer who should have his crayons taken from him.

Nice job.

Nice job.

More pictures and a description would be nice. Looks great.

Nice job. Would like to see them cars with that much detal.

Figured that was tie in somewhere.

I hate that myself. The theaters used to have ushers to stop people bothering others. Now theres one person selling popcorn and one projectionist for all of the movies played. One of the reasons that movie theaters are going away. I can rent a movie and not be bothered with inconsiderate people.

Just curious why you have a gal for an avatar.

Wild. Great project.

Not much of the bus is left. What is your plan for colors?

Nice job. That was a quick build.

Any pictures of the semi?

Cool looking rod.

Thanks Bill I was wondering. I knew about the 24th , 25th and 8th. Of course most of the diecast are 18th. The only other choice would be to 3d scan a kit and then do a 12th scale. However that would cost some todo.

Very nice paint on all three. Looking forward to more.

Bill I'm curious who makes the 16th scale 32 ford.
