MCW *Enamel* Paints

That is good to know, thank you. I just have an aversion to making 'business' calls (haha). But, I'll enquire to him sooner rather 'an later. -
MCW *Enamel* Paints

Other 'an a phone number ( OMG, that is sooooooo 20th Century ! ) there's no other contact info - and their FAQ 'page' is empty (?!?). IIRC, their lacquers are ready-to-shoot, but not their enamels. -

I bought their enamel reducer , directly from MCW's site. Silly question : Do I need to purchase their hardener as well ? Or will the reducer 'cover' the catalysation as well ? Thanks again . -

Gary Usher (1938-1990) was also an excellent record producer. -

I'd love to see both long bed and short bed Wideside as well as Fenderside iterations , in 2WD . From there, the resin artists could offer C/K 20 and 30 conversions .

I happened into Pegasus hobby store this past Saturday , and I picked up a bottle of MCW's Curious Yellow enamel ( 5.00 $ ! Quite reasonable ). Now, I have one of those Prevail sprayers which I'm going to employ ( I don't have the facilities to use an airbrush - noisy compressors and such in an apartment setting = no go ). My question is, Which reducer / thinner ( or both, if necessary ) is best for these enamels ? I had my eyes set on Mr. Color Leveling Thinner -- is that a good product for this instance ? I love Mr. Hobby and Tamiya, as both are just the best I've used over the years. Any input and recommendations (and ad hominem attacks ) is are am welcomed.

That 1/18 looks pretty nice ! I recognise wheel covers - is it a 1998-2001 model (amber turn signals as well) ? Speaking of which ; I'm going to convert mine to the amber-signals tail lamp assemblies. Why ? I can't stand red turn signal/hazards ! They're not only annoying, but are also technically improper / incorrect.

Help with AMT ERTL 1995 Corvette Please
1972coronet replied to Funkychiken's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
While I haven't much to offer in respect to your enquiries, I can tell you that this kit has its origins in late 1983 ( ! ) as the then-new (and groundbreaking) 1984 model. That chassis is almost dead-bollocks to the 1983 original. Bottom line ? Perhaps the chassis is de facto "warped" due to the ad infinitum running of the ad sequitur annual kits ? Best to you and regards. -

Why was the Supernatural 67 Impala 4 door kit discontued?
1972coronet replied to GMP440's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Speaking only of the body style : the Supernatural version is a four door hardtop ( Sports Sedan in Chevrolet nomenclature ) , whereas the police/taxi (9C1 , etc.) models were four door sedans (framed door glass and "complete" B-pillar). -

Another gem from the Notorious sessions of mid-late 1967. This is Mc Guinn fooling around with the then-new Moog synthesiser - a 9,000$ instrument ! The Moog was used extensively on Notorious (and to a lesser extent on other Byrds albums) - one of the first "Pop" (Rock) albums to feature the instrument ( The Monkees Pieces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd. was released in November 1967, beating the Byrds album by a couple of months ). Without further ado :

An "incomplete" recording ; a studio instrumental from Summer or Autumn 1967. Chris Hillman took the song to Manassas who recorded a slower-tempo, vocals-included version for their 1972 self-titled album. I'm keen on this up-tempo take - too bad that it never received a vocal treatment.

I can't be the only one who misread this as "prostate" initially. 😁
