  1. I have the Tamiya Panel Line Scriber, and it works good, but the issue is that widens the panel lines while making them deeper, so I bought this set, and while doesn't work as good as Tamiya's, is does not make them wider .

  3. Well looks like I need to un friend him, he did not want to give me $20
  4. Tower Hobbies still has some in stock
  5. The Revell AG is just a rebox of the Moebius kit, so it is the same kit in a different box , and as already noted, different decals and instruction booklet
  6. Correct, I spoke with Bob and that is what he told me as well, I had sort of feeling that is what they were. I do think the shade is tad dark, but I still love the color and happy with it.
  7. All finished up minus the they are not really metal transfers markings for the hood/rear end, love this shade of blue, it is even better in person, the camera does not do it justice, its is gorgeous. I replaced the side/hood mesh decals over clear parts with just real meshing, since there are no markings, I did do the car with LHD( US Spec). Far as we all know, this will be my last completed model for the year that isnt already started( meaning, I have some other projects that I want to try and finish up) Enough of the words.
  8. For me, yes, that is my end game, I want to see all the work ive put into each model pay off at the end, not that I dont enjoy the entire process, but for me, that is the point.
  9. Yep, you did post it back in 2008, heck, I probably cant remember what I posted last year http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/15769-custom-silverado-4x4/
  10. I agree with you, but the price tag wasnt all the hefty, I paid $40 for the kit
  11. The brakes, finally got them done, mixed Tamiya Met Grey and Tamiya Flat black and air brushed them. Clear coated, time for polishing.
  12. I did, and I did
  13. Overall, decent kit, outside of Meng combining different years into the kit, pretty straight forward build, everything minus of a couple things fit good. My only real complaint is that all the marker lights are molded to the body. Couple of fit issues I encountered, one was the getting the drive shaft to fit, I needed to trim it down, and the other issue is the the windshield piece does not fit, or seat properly , so that is causing the front doors not fit great and the roof to sit up in the front. I believe it is the interior piece causing that, as my test mock up for the body, there was no issues. The best way I can describe this kit is akin to building a semi truck kit. enough of the blah blah blah Starting with how it looks in stock form
  14. In a perfect world, us model builders would all get along.
  15. Got the Olds kit for $10, sealed. The two BMW's and Alfa came from another club member, we did a trade, cash for the kits
  16. Just a silly suggestion, but why not use oh I dont know, a matte white paint, Tamiya has Matte White in the can
  17. I had the same problem with mine
