Thanks guys, I still have a lot more decals to apply on the nissan, I picked up the 458 thats in red to replace the glue bomb. I agree, the 458's look mean with black wheels, the both will look a little meaner when I am done. I work better, and get results when I work on more then project at a time.

Advice: Revell 70 Boss

NASCAR motor, I put one of the newer Ford NASCAR engines in a 67 gt 500 build, fits good for the most part -
Been working on a few 458's, one of them is a glue bomb I did, so I took it apart, and here it is after being repaited, I used model master ford royal blue lacquer shot over a aluminum base coat, the body is in bad shape, the pics hide all the problems, and the paint is darker in person. No clear coat yet

That would be no one has made one yet, a quick google search shows a lot 328i, but none are 2012.

Its one of the reason's I will go to Hobby Lobby instead of Michaels, even if I know Michaels has what I want. I would rather go to a LHS but thats a 25 min drive

Its not just the models that are out of place, the paints were always all over the place on the rack, the paints are a lot better now, now they just need to work on the kits. I just dont think they care enough about them at the store thats near me, I am not speaking for all the stores of course

I wish it was that, the model section is a mess, not one single kit is where is should be, the kits are all sideways on the selves, you have to move them around to see what is all there

What's With the Boxes?
martinfan5 replied to Miatatom's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Just because a person is trying to sell a model kit box for "valuable price" does not mean its valuable, I do agree it would be cool to have the first fun box's of some re-released kits. -
Rubbing Out Paint After Color Sanding
martinfan5 replied to Miatatom's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Agreed, I see it as only needed when going to shows or contest's , not for sitting on the shelf collecting dust , I use 2000 grit paper, then I use a rubbing compound, then a polishing compound, then if needed , a scratch remover. -
Exactly , a heads up would be nice, thats all

My irritation was when I went to use the 50% off coupon, and I was going to buy this one, so after waiting in line I am told its on clearance and couldn't use the coupon, ok no biggie, what irritated me is the fact that the model section is a disaster and nothing is marked, it would of been nice to know which kits are on clearance or not.
