    E-Mail the seller and ask him......And just find out if he can guarantee the kit is 100% Complete...if he cannot then then i would say Bogus.... I would not pay that much for a kit....unless i could see the contents of the kit......How are the Decals?........Is there tire burn?...... Glass Broken Cracked? The seller should give a 100% complete inspection on the kit....for $275.00 or More

    Double D..Thank-You for the info...You are right..i need to use as little paint as possible....I believe this is my problem...i apply too much paint and this gives me the paint edge...which in turn i have had to sand and repaint more than one model Thanks again...i am just going to feather the paint on this car today...let you know how it goes Cheers...Don

    I'm Sorry....i am just lost for words.....I don't know what to say....guess i am still in shock...that happens to me when i see such Fantastic Work
  22. XJ6
    Well i am not an expert on the matter....but my rule of thumb is after any painting (car) and parts, is to always wait 3-4 days before i do any handling, polishing, masking, BMF and what hav-ya..this is speaking of using Lacquers.. Enamels which i very seldom use... i wait a least a week....for they just take a long time to dry... I use acrylic mostly for detail..and they dry the quickest...but i always wait at least an hour....recoat...handling.. etc.... Of course all this depends on temp's for drying time Cheers....Don aka XJ6

    I don't know....is it a wind-up..???
  24. XJ6
    That is a fact...i live just minutes from a Big Hobby Store (RC-Country)....and i see people pay lot's of money..and i mean lot's of Monies... on just the parts alone...$300.00 to $700.00 + for RC...no thanks i'll stay with my $24.99 / $27.99 Model Kits.... But to be up-front and honest....If i could afford the RC thing..i would do it....Maybe?? i don't know, perhaps...oh well...
