  1. As Dave Van alluded to, the laser and inkjet inks are translucent, not solid. Therefore the paint shows thru. Depending on your artwork, it may be possible to print on white decal paper, but that doesn’t work for a lot of designs. in the pic, both the d-con and no mouse logos were inkjet printed on white decal paper.
  2. If all else fails, I was happy with the results of using Tamiya Metallic Orange out of the rattle can on my build.
  3. Well that was fast! Got mine in the mail today in Utah.
  4. It is massively overdone - looks like a Transformer, not a Corvette. But I read it’s the best selling Vette ever, so I guess the performance and price have made up for the appearance - and perhaps a lot of guys in their ‘60s (my age) like the look.
  5. It does! Normally 1971 Shelby’s remind me of late-era Javelins.
  6. Sweet mother of pearl!! Everything about that build is FANTASTIC!!!
  7. Berwyn, PA. Although I now live in Utah!
  8. Taylor Swift dumped Travis Kelce and she is now dating Chad. He will shoot the video when he has a chance.
  9. Looks great! Love the black!
  10. That’s excellent!
  11. That came out well! On mine I filed down the carbs some, possibly hollowed out the air cleaner some, and was able to get the hood to close. It took a while!
  12. Beautiful!! And did you polish the Createx clear? I’m planning on using it for the first time and any tips would help!
  13. Fantastic build!!
  14. I like these replicas of slightly less well known cars!
  15. Really great!
  16. Arrived in Utah today. Last issue I was about the last to get it, and this time among the first.
  17. Thanks you guys - I’ve got a couple of good choices here!
  18. Hi, I’m getting parts together for my build of the Revell 29 Model A. Any idea where I can get headers similar to the kit headers, but for a 392 Hemi (see pic of a real car for what I’m looking for.) I’ve found these but worried they may be too big since they are for a 426 (I can scratch the connection to the exhaust system if I have to) https://www.3dscaleparts.com/product-page/1-25-426-hemi-headers-now-available-on-the-website-hemiheaders-hotrodheaders Replicas and Minis has a set too but I don’t think they are what I want (see pic of description.) Lastly, is there a photo etched grill available for this kit? I checked Model Car Garage and no luck I think Replicas and Minis may have had that grill but I believe they’ve discontinued all photo etch Thanks for any help or suggestions!
  19. Find Chuck Boerner on Facebook. He has a lot of 70s and 80s FCs.
  20. I’ll say! It’s amazing how critical thinking skills have totally evaporated!
  21. My local Michael’s in Utah is down to room for 6 different kits and paint is gone?
  22. Very nice! I remember Spencer leading a lot of the 1991 Bristol night race - Alan Kulwicki then took over the lead and never looked back. Classic NASCAR!!!
  23. My copy of 223 made it to Utah at some point from March 20-23. Another great issue!
