  1. Wow! Jason. Those are beautiful. Lots of good information here, so to answer some questions. I am using the TS-11 straight from the can. I generally do not run spray paint under warm water, but since I store them in a basement, that might not be a bad idea, or at the very least let them sit upstairs in the sun for a little while. I did apply the paint over Tamiya Primer, but it really is a light grey. I might experiment with Flat Black and a darker grey. I do think the coats are a little heavy. I'll have to try using mist coats to see what that does. I'll post more pics once I get some more paint going.
  2. Thanks for the info, Steve. That Vette looks great. I might just have to bite the bullet & get one.
  3. Those are definitely less purple. They really look nice.
  4. Constantly have this issue with Tamiya gloss, not with flat though.
  5. Nicely done.
  6. Very nice Porsche. Well done.
  7. I am looking for a good maroon color for a 1937 Chevrolet Business Coupe. I tried Tamiya Maroon TS-11, but it's too purple for my liking & like all Tamiya gloss paint it won't stay on the model. That's two coats over Tamiya Surface Primer (grey).
  8. Very nice looking Ferrari.
  9. Sure is bright!
  10. Great looking Lamborghini. Well done.
  11. Great looking color combination. Really well done.
  12. Looks nice. I like the milk crate on the rear deck. Nice touch.
  13. I have the Revell Corvette C7.R kit, but I really don't want to paint it yellow. I found this conversion kit: 2016-19 Corvette C7R Upgrade resin kit for 1/25 Revell C7.R plastic ki| The Model Car Channel Store To do the 2018 Corvette C7.R from the 2018 6 Hours of Shanghai. Has anyone used it? What can you tell me about it? Thanks.
  14. Nice looking Chevelle.
  15. I think it looks awesome. Are you planning on doing the 1974 version?
  16. What I have to keep reminding myself is that he's a salesman, and a good one. I have purchased several kits based on his reviews, and have had a heck of a time with some of them.
  17. And he makes it look so easy:
  18. I've been tempted to get the "Weekend Warrior" issue, but after hearing this, now I'm not so sure.
  19. Really great looking 442. Very well done.
  20. Are these all the same kit that you're talking about? The look the same, but then again, they're the same car.
  21. Great looking Impala. Well done.
  22. If you're doing a single drive axle tractor with a V8 engine, I'm pretty sure you have a LV1000.
