I see you too are a man that doesn't believe in keeping all his eggs in one basket. Speaking of Mr Hobby, I go thru a lot of bottles of their Mr Sufacer Black,I love that stuff, while it may be a primer, I use it as a paint for things that need to be black but I don't want a shine , and its a very good primer too for parts that need to be semi or gloss black.

Ahh, respect, don't wanna brag about your skills?

If all kits were created equal and we lived in a perfect world, some of us wouldnt have to reply on Tamiya primer, but 95% of the kits I build come form their market and the plastic they use can not stand up the hotter primers that come in the 12oz cans of hardware store paints/automotive stuff. I ruined a lot kits trying to use them, and all it does is craze , even trying misting I still ended up having issues and damaging the plastic, it just got to a point it was no longer worth it to try and use those products on the kits I was building. Are you ready for this Steve?, I mean I hope you are sitting down and holding on to something?, I agree, we shouldnt have all of our eggs in one basket, and I am thankful that I don't when it comes to paints outside of primers, not gonna lie, it hurts , like getting kicked in the nuts hurt losing the Metalizers, but thankfully Alclad will fill in that role for pretty much the same cost.

When you use quality like products, you get quality like results. *you can still get decent results with crappy products too, but its just easier to get better results when you use quality products.

Yep, its craptastic indeed ? Just because you don't have issues with the paint does not mean its not a low quality paint, its still is low quality crappy paint, the key is the builder, like yourself, you a very talented builder that posses some skills that lot of builders do not( I wish I had your BMF skills), and those skills are required to get decent results from these low quality crappy hardware store paints in can. Its great you are able to get good results from those products , not everyone is as lucky. *just so everyone understands, I mean zero disrespect to Steve, we are just having a debate, its our thing, its what we do.

Yes they do, they are basically 2n1, and sometimes 3n1 kits.

Be careful with SEM, I use their chassis grey for all my current NASCAR builds because it accurate and it has a weird reaction to the plastic , it doesnt craze , I don't know to explain it, so I am not sure if the primer will do the same thing. Decanting and air brushing it seems to solve the issue if I recall. *shooting it straight to bare plastic The best thing you can do is use Tamiya Primer, its Tamiya Like Quality for reason, its worth the money.

It looks like you had much better luck and results with Indycals than I did, but there are not any decals trying to go over complex curves for that livery like with some of the other ones.

The BEST change I made in the hobby was switching to Tamiya/Mr Hobby primers, no more ruined bodies because I was wanted to use crappy automotive rattle can primers and or be even cheaper and use hardware store primers like Crapoleum or Craplyon. Ruining bodies is not worth the savings. At one point, there was a difference in the plastic being used between the US and Asian kits and the Asian kits plastic was not able to handle hotter paints like automotive primers/paints, trust me, I crazed and ruined a lot $$$$ because I was trying to be a part of the cool club by using the auto/hardware store junk.

Very nice.

Good job

Thats not US MSRP pricing , thats imported marked up pricing, it should be under $30 here if we go buy what the current Revell kits are being sold at.

Showing up on Hobby Search as a pre order , I would imagine it will be out here before Nov

Here we have Multmatic Motorsports #22 that was raced in the 2019 Michelin Pilot Challenge Daytona , decals are from Indycals. So I am just absolutely embarrassed to be showing this , the decals are not that good , I redid the sides and the rear bumper and they still look bad. They just hate to go over anything that inst flat, they hate to be messed with after drying, and they are on the thick side and they don't like to be cut, and the ink comes off fairly easy. Indycals after sales customer service was top notch and excellent. The kit itself is just wonderful , TS26 for the paint, TS13 for the clear coat, what else is there to say, its Tamiya like quality , I am still very pleased with how it turned out.

Very nice

This one got announced awhile back(2019 I believe), and now its time for the project to move forward .

Thanks to a neighbor , these kits today( DHL or USPS delivered the HLJ box to the wrong address), just clearing out the PWH.

I think 50 might be a stretch too ?

HAHA, that was a quality post my friend.

HAHA cool, as a fellow Arizonaina, I approve?

I have 14k and maybe 50 of those were quality posts?

I should of known you were joking ☹️

Nope, thats it!, just one. Joking, no, there will be more, that's just the first one showing up.

Its interesting, I myself have sort had a resurgence in wanting to build 90's ear NASCAR stuff again, for me its redoing the ones I built during the 90's when I was teen, because, well, no one needs to see them and its fun to build them at my current self skill level, sadly most of them require Slixx decals which don't age well ☹️

What Justin said, there is no excuse for inaccurate new tooled kits in 2020.
