  1. I was thinking exactly the same thing!!!!! JOE.
  2. Nice build on such a small subject. I love road bikes and truly wish this one was available in 1/12!!!! Joe.
  3. Ahhhh, you know that came to mind immediately upon finishing. Thanks Don, I appreciate the response. Joe.
  4. WHAT DID I DO WRONG???? It may be too soon to panic but it appears my first experience spraying lacquer thinned enamel has been a miss. I must admit it does spray shiny, however its coverage on curved areas is thinner and on flat areas heavier. Did i thin too much? Or should i have done a mist coat and let that dry before goung for a deeper color???? Can i fix thix this with another coat on the thinner areas when this dries?. Thanks for any help. Joe.
  5. Thanks for the response. I am going to shoot a test today over white and silver on a test strip. Joe.
  6. Very nice. I love the color combo. How did you handle the metal axel? Joe.
  7. Ok, now how about undercoat for the metalflake green??? Presently the body has a polished out Tamiya White Primer. Do I need a Silver Leaf undercoat for metalflake???? Thanks all, joe.
  8. Jaw dropping beautiful. joe.
  9. Nice build. If Model Car Garage makes another p/e set i hope this is his first. joe.
  10. Thanks so much guys. Evidently this request was moved and i was just able to find it. I use strips of white styrene to track incompatibility. I really has been a model saver!!! Donn, Do you also use lacquer thinner for the Clear Top Coat???? thanks again, joe.
  11. I usually use all lacquer based products and i have a farily good working technique for those. Enamels this is my first time. My plan is to use Testors' Metalflake Green out of the little square bottles with lacquer thinner 2:1. Am i limited to using Testor's Clear Enamel as a top coat or can i use Dupli Color Acrylic? What is the name of the Testor's clear enamel? I presume at least two coats? Polishing required? Please let me know if you see any problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, joe.
