the triple thick is called "Glaze"...... not a different version, it's different product, formulated to spray on pottery,,, I've tried it but seem to get a better gloss using the crystal clear spray

The trailer is off the hook !

no cars from 'The Great Race' like professor fate's Hannibal 8 (or maybe I couldn't find them)

i vote model ,everything you post is a model anyway,, I quit guessing ..lol plus it's setting on a granite countertop

much like you are thinking except I used a sheet of thin acrylic and formed a clear circular "wall" bonded together with proweld. I got mine from a yard sale and it has the adjustable temperature,really handy

To be honest,an airbrush and compressor is not the place to cut corners. better to save up and get a good compressor. with one exception,,,the Paasche H airbrush set can be found for as little as $40.The double action VL for $60 great AB's to start out with for the money. just don't let the eagerness to get going, talk you into a cheapo compressor http://www.dixieart....gle_Action.html

you will have a hard time finding automotive colors with Vallejo paints ,,, they are clearly geared for armor, figures and airplanes. so no matter how good they are, does not help the automotive modeler much . Tamiya has a better selection but still mainly the basic spectrum ,, nothing fancy but excellent paints Auto air has all the great finishes , metallics, pearls , candys , lots of great options.A lot of pro graphic guys use it. I use createx for the general stuff but, step up to auto air , or even the popular solvent based paints for painting high gloss body finishes. Createx has some really nice colors for that also, but not as expansive and foolproof as auto air. Createx is good and cheap paint to practice with and easily found almost everywhere for brushwork I would go with a good brushing paint and shy away from the airbrush ready versions. I'll second DD on the createx cleaner/conditioner ... it rocks,,, and keeps the airbrush running smooth, rather than just stripping it dry like thinners will...or,A small bottle of airbrush lube is worth the investment.

No instructions but here's a nice info page. http://www.turbinecar.com/resources.htm
