I spotted this on YouTube and I just love that AJ's car looks like something you'd see right on the street. Was this a Cutlass or some other model of Olds?

All valid points. I just like that he gives advice on thinning ratios and how to spray a wide variety of paint types. I expect that experimentation will be involved with everything and results will vary. Let's be honest - we can all use the same spray can and get vastly different results.

All - this guy has an amazing YouTube channel where he shows how to airbrush a wide array of different paints, and also how to make your own acrylic thinner and airbrush cleaner. Here's one video on airbrushing Molotov. Subscribe to his channel and you can go right down a rabbit hole!

Thanks for this, I just ordered two cans of the white primer!!!

I've seen the Mr. Surfacer primer around, but I was hoping to find a larger can of something that is maybe less expensive, or costs the same but goes a lot farther.

Does anyone have any suitable substitutions for Tamiya Primer? I intend to spray Tamiya TS lacquer over it. Thanks!

I just got one in the mail. I haven't started it yet, but the kit looks quite nice!

Thanks Jim. I found one at a local Hobbytown and grabbed it. I actually had no major interest in it, but Salvino accidentally sent me a sheet of the vermillion decals for it (and told me to keep them when I called confused) so I bought the kit when I spotted it. I really don't get why they limited the release of this particular year.

The latest issue of MCM mentions that the 1973 Petty Charger is no longer available. If anyone is interested, it can be found right now at Spotlight Hobbies.

I just found this in the Coming Soon section of Model Roundup. Very cool! I wish there were more kits like this. I love transporters and trailers.

Thanks Rex, this is awesome! The kit just arrived today. About $130 at MegaHobby, which is a far cry from the original Trumpeter price that I think was near $300.

All - any suggestions on a paint match for this color? A company called Magnifire released the 1/12 Trumpeter kit at a greatly reduced price and I'd prefer to do the #1 car. I see that Zero Paints has an exact match, but I think I'll need several bottles to do a big 'un like this!

Why do I suddenly want to run a marathon, man?

My apologies to anyone who also visits the FSM forum, I'm duplicate posting here and there lately. In regards to this type of super glue, which I get at Hobby Lobby: I'm sure that others have had issues with the glue drying up long before the bottle is empty, or with glue amassing at the tip, causing the lid to not go back on properly, or with the tip itself getting clogged, etc. Well, I have been doing the following basic things to prevent this and they're working for me: 1) After every use (EVERY use, each time you squeeze a dollop out), wipe the tip with a paper towel and stick the cap back on. If you go back later and the tip is clogged, 2) Use a pin vise to drill through the clog. Repeat 1 and 2 over and over again. I have had zero issues with the bottle shown so far. The last one I used was a disaster. Hope this helps!

This is the kit:

I open every kit I buy for exactly that reason!

Hi all, Just a quick post to let you know that Round 2 recently released a 2010 Camaro with very flashy Hot Wheels graphics (that sucked me right in). I grabbed one yesterday and after washing the parts, I turned my attention towards starting it today and suddenly realized my kit had no seats or tires (basically the vinyl parts). I went back to Hobby Lobby and exchanged it, but before leaving, opened the replacement kit. You guessed it - no seats or tires! Round 2 is sending me the missing parts. Just be aware that if you buy the kit - which is a curbside - you may encounter the same problem.

It even has a tiny Mini Cooper engine under the hood!

I just finished this yesterday. What a fun little kit.

Didn't they send you, Baby, and Otis to jail??

Thank you!!!

Is it white, pearl white, or blue-green? Your help is appreciated.

I agree Bob. I'm improving with each new build. I never worry about achieving perfection, I build mainly to please myself. Any nice words from fellow builders is just a bonus!

Jim is correct - the kit had some extra parts that must go to one of the Emhar Mk1-4 tanks. I decided to place it for some visual interest and to make it look like a damaged panel on the field.

Thanks Jim! I love WWI kits the most. Those early tanks were wild - some were just basically a metal geometrical shape on tracks and yet, I can appreciate them because those innovations were what led to the incredibly advanced armor that we have now. That's also why I like 70's F1 cars the most. It was a "Let's put this on the car and see what works" mentality, and it made for some wild and beautiful cars. Come on, a six wheeler? Great stuff!!!
