  1. Enamel clear coat caused worse orange peel than just color coat alone. What is the best way to fix this after the paint cures. I've read Scratch-X or Novus works good but do I need to wetsand before using either of these or will one of these remove the orange peel alone?
  2. Thanks Casey...sounds like they are included option panels for some Tamiya and other Japanese kits then...Thats great! Thanks a lot!
  3. I've seen some Import Tuner style models lately built with a "stripped down interior"...meaning the interior looks like all the door panels, carpeting, and rear seat and panels have been removed and you see the sheet metal "skeleton" of the interior. As a stripped down track or drag import car would look like. Are these interior panels that you can buy or are they scratchbuilt?
  4. Very nice! Where did you get the Turbo?
  5. looks awesome....where did you get the turbo from?
  6. Really nice paint job! Looks great!
  7. I was afraid of that! So do I need to narrow the beam though. I've seen others do this but it would require cutting into the storage compartment of the front end...
  8. Anyone know how to properly lower this one? The rear looks pretty simple but the front end looks more difficult. I've heard you need to narrow the front beams but that would mean cutting into the front nose compartment so the shock tower will fit correct? Does it really need to be narrowed and how can I actually lower the front end?
  9. very nice!
  10. Thanks VW Dave, that would be great!...I sent you a PM!
  11. Great!! Thanks alot...those bead cones will work perfect!
  12. Ya, but I want to add a Stinger pipe and Webbers and stuff like that. Any links where I can find them?
  13. Great!...any links of where I might find anything for the older VW Beetles?
  14. Going to be starting a new project as soon as it arrives....a Tamiya 66 Beetle. My question is...where can I get some good aftermarket parts for this model like PE or resin parts and any accessories for it?
  15. How did you make the turbos?...Is it solder?...if so what size did you use? And what did you use for the hose connections and turbo piping? Looks awesome!!!
  16. Def a model! I think the rope and how the ground drops off are give aways....
  17. Very Nice! I also would like to know where the wheels are from...
  18. Looks like a real 1:1 to me...great job!
