  1. I agree, there will be no point for them to stay , its sad what NASCAR might be turning into, Ive grown up with NASCAR not being production based, and that is perfectly fine with me, I dont want to see it go to a spec series, or see go further away from what it is now.
  2. I use Micron Filter Tips to strain my paint, well, clear before air brushing
  3. But she has, her last two races Aug 24th at Gateway, K&N Series https://www.racing-reference.info/season-stats/2019/P/ And then she was in a Arca race on the 31st at DuQuoin Speedway https://www.racing-reference.info/season-stats/2019/A/ She has ran 44 races so far in 2019, that is more than the Cup Series will run. She is currently 9th in the K&N Series East Point standings https://www.racing-reference.info/yeardet/2019/E She is Currently 2nd in the K&N Series West Point Standings https://www.racing-reference.info/yeardet/2019/P She is Currently 24th in Arca standings, but she has only competed in 4 races of the 17 that have ran. https://www.racing-reference.info/yeardet/2019/A
  4. More info confirming that Dallara as of now is not going to be building the next chassis.
  5. She has been running in the K&N Series and winning a few races . https://www.racing-reference.info/driver/Hailie_Deegan Its called ride buying, that is why there are different drivers in the same car throughout the year.
  6. It has not officially been confirmed just yet so lets just keep that in mind. Cup driver Cory Lajoie said on a podcast that Five Star bodies will be supplying the bodies( rumor as of now) Other changes include 18inch wheels and a rumor of switching to a single center lug.
  7. Its all images from the Italeri website https://www.italeri.com/en/prodotto/2767
  8. I looked up what colors the Supra is offered in to decided which one I am going to use, and guess what, I know yalls are gonna be shocked , all the colors but one are BMW colors Absolute Zero White = (A96). Aka BMW Mineral White Metallic Nocturnal Black = (475). Aka BMW Black Sapphire Metallic Renaissance Red 2.0 = (A61). Aka BMW Crimson Red Tungsten Silver = (A83). Aka BMW Glacier Silver Metallic Turbulence Gray = (C2Y). Aka BMW Bluestone Metallic Nitro Yellow = (B21). Aka BMW Atacama Yellow Downshift Blue = (C10). Aka BMW Mediterranean Blue Phantom Matte Gray = (C3A). Not found in BMW paint code. I believe Tada san did say this was color was unique just to the Supra. Ive narrowed it down to either Turbulence Gray or Downshift Blue.
  9. That one was reissued in 2008, the one that was just reissued will all the goodies is kit #057087 https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10575706
  10. Yeah, there is always that chance that Hasegawa could do that as one the variations that is sure to be coming, they just recently tool up US spec parts for the 240Zed kit, but hopefully, or it would be cool if someone from the aftermarket would tool up the conversion parts needed.
  11.

  13. Adding to the above post via James, same with the last reissue of the Nissan Terrano kit, Aoshima included a bunch of parts from the various versions, two different sets of front/rear bumpers, two different grills, two sets of wheels, a few different sets of off road bits and so on, and both LHD/RHD options.
  14. Yeah, nothing on the 2dr Classic none Police version, the Fire Truck Land Rover is out now.
  15. What a great time , all these Range/Land Rover kits we are getting. Color me happy, I just built the only I had, and it was the off road version so I am very happy that the stock one is getting a reissue, because stock wheels.
  16. One of the new kits announced for Q4 and as part of the All Japan Hobby show is from Hasegawa, we are going to get to build the Nissan Bluebird SSS ATTESA limited (U12), due out in late Dec, no doubt we should have our first look at the kit at the hobby show in just about a months time. Pricing, direct from Japan its gonna around $25 US
  17. Not at all surprised they are doing it, looking forward it .
  18. https://lexus.jp/
  19. No, it does not, only clear body, you should be able to treat it like a none see thru body, and paint in normally, it seems that maybe you would be better off getting the none full view kit instead. https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10224237/30/3
  20. Hey look , hell must of froze over, its something else that Steve and myself will agree on, his two stage paints( lacquer) are super duper fantastic, I got one bottle of the enamel to use and I never actually finished the project in that color because it wouldnt dry, even living in Phoenix didnt help.
  21. Some subjects will be more noticeable than others, but yes, there is difference between the two scales, and I am with David, 1/24th for all new tooling moving forward from Revell.
  22. Its seems most time's Japan gets Revell AG kits about month after their UK release .
  23. Its up for pre ordering in the land of the Rising Sun, just under $40 US and the release date is showing for after Nov
  24. That would of been a mistake I would of been happy with ?, I like the Dullcote spary and always keep a can on hand , glad to hear you found a use for it.
