  1. Maybe a mix of using a resin Riviera boattail, and AMT mid 70's kit could be a good starting point for this. resin Buick.
  2. I highly recommend Harbor Freight's double action airbrush. Performs really well. Kit comes with two glass bottles, two needles , hose and holder. Harbor freight double action airbrush.
  3. What paint colors do I need to mix in order to get gold cadmium and green cadmium? Thanks. George Looking to mix colors to get gold cadmiuim and green cadmium.
  4. What colors can I mix to get gold cadmium and green cadmium? Thank you. George
  5. http://www.cbodydrydock.com/forum_viewtopic.php?5.99268 This owner of a 65' Chrysler 300 restored his hubcaps with the Spaztix Chrome paint.
  6. MPC 68' Coronet R/T or the 68' Coronet Feverbee kit. Any MPC 76' thru 80' Plymouth Volare Roadrunner
  7. I wholeheartedly agree with you, Foxbat. I beleive the kit manufactureres should use the developement dollars to ressurrect tooling that has not seen the light in 40 years instead of reissuing the same kits year after year. How many 57' Chevy's or Camaros or Mustangs do we need? I would love to see them redo the MPC 68' Coronet R/T. Also, what about re-releasing the the 76' thru 80' Plymouth Volare Roadrunners?
  8. "I think tooling dollars might have been better spent on something we haven't had on the shelves for over 40 years like another '57 Ford. And yes, I know, it's a different trim and body type, but really, there are plenty of other cars that could be kitted that we've never had (or haven't had in decades) in plastic, like any mid to late '50s Mercury. Frankly, I would have liked a '58 Ford instead of another '57. " I also agree with the above statement. Would love to see the 68' Dodge Coronet R/T come out. That one was last released in 68'. Was supposed to be released about two years ago, but was cancelled. Round2 please look into this .
  9. Lots of interesting stuff on its way.
  10. A few years ago Revell was supposed to do an 86' Cutlass. Someone posted a pic of the Cutlass kit that never came out.
  11. Saw at Target the "Cars" movie cars. There is a grey sportscar with wire wheels. They look 1/24 or 1/25 scale. The wire wheels look really nice and could be good for a project.
  12. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1971-Resin-Buick-Rivera-Tail-Spin-Excellent-/160644222141?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2567244cbd Is this a new resin offering?
  13. A while back they stopped taking new orders. Anyone if and when they will be taking new orders?
  14. Thanks for the advice. I used the laquer thinner and it worked great. I used the laquer thinner from Home Depot. Paint laid down excellant.
  15. What should I use to thin the Testors Model Master paints for airbrushing? One paint states you can use water to clean and the other does not. Can I use laquer thinner to thin both? Thanks.
  16. I'm having trouble finding a topic I started two days ago. When I stated the topic it showed in recent topics started box on the right of the website page. However, when I try to find the post I can't find it. Anyone else have this problem? I used the search feature, but no luck. Thanks. George
  17. This would definetly revolutionize the resin casting business by lowering the cost of casting a body from a master.
  18. Revell '56 Chevy Del Ray, just saying Those Del Ray wheels look good. Actually, they are correct looking. Has the raised dimples beteen the lug nuts.
  19. Those wheels pictured are ok, but not correct. If you can find an old Johan 69' Roadrunner kit, those wheels are pretty accurate. As mentioned in another post the Little Red Wagon kit has an accurate looking set.
  20. It's a lot easier to just find an MPC Charger 500 kit or builtup and go that route. Also, there is a resin one available. No need to spend time scratch building.
  21. I have the Ross Gibson Dodge 340 engine kit. In the the kit there are the 340 four barrel decals for the aircleaner. I tried using them and it does not appear to be slide off decals. It's just paper. I cut a decal out and used epoxy to glue it down on the aircleaner. It laid down ok and looks good. Is this the correct way to use these or is there a better way? Thanks.
  22. Who is the person at Round 2 we should e-mail about kit requests and suggestions? Thanks. George
  23. I also have put clear over bare metal foil and have never had anything yellow over time. I have been doing this over many years.
  24. Someone casts a 77' Can Am. My be turn that into a 4-door. There is a posting with pics in this resin section. I don't remember the name of the caster. It jst came out a few months ago.
