  1. John, great job so far, the interior looks good, paint job, nice and shiny I have a question , how did you go about doing the trim rings for the vents on the dash?
  2. I should note that my MPG I am getting is pretty much 95% on the street, I do very little freeway driving between each weeks fill up, I am not going to complain about it, I was barley able to get 300 miles out of my tank, but did some maintenance and now I am able to get about 370 , the engine has around 304,000 on it I am not sure what Jetta is getting, but I know its about 400 miles or so on a tank
  3. And some color Final coats of paint, in a few days I will do the clear coats
  4. I wonder what the odds are that we are talking about the same guy?

  6. yes, I made a mistake
  7. It depends, if you get his enamel based paint then no, that is just a one stage paint and is glossy, if you use his acrylic paint, that is a two stage paint and does need to be clear coated
  8. A local hobby shop in the UK has it listed for a March release date, and a price of 35 pounds which is about $50us, that is a 20% off price for a pre ordering Stevens Intl and Military Models are the two that Meng list for being USA distributors and Stevens does not have it listed yet as of this post http://www.boystownmilitaryminiatures.com/MENG_MODELS_124_FORD_F350_SUPER_DUTY_CREW_CAB_PREORDER_MAR/p1144420_11720684.aspx
