First off I dislike testor's putty! It's so crumbily and hard to work with. Now this may be a dumb question but did you primer before you painted the model?

I just jumped on evil bay and found it sorry guys you are right it's a 53 studebaker starliner. I have been fogging my mind for a lot of years so I have been mistaken a lot I need to pull it out from the abyss and see if I'm mistake on the part count and needing instructions

I haven't seen the kit in a long time the more I think about it the more I want to say it's a hawk I known the cover art is the stude parked diagnally with the front sloping downwards towards you and the car is red

Is he a 55 chev? I alway thought he looked more like a 57 IH ya I thought he was an InTOONational he-he

Oh so many years ago I have an aunt who bought me an AMT? 59 stude lark from a thirft staore. It was a car she and her husband had back when they both where learning to become pastors in the salvation army. I have always wanted to build it for them but there was no instructions and if I remember right it seemed to have a bunch of extras. Does anybody have a set of instructions for this build they would be willing to photocopy for me? I will pay for the cost of the kinko's copies and the stamp/stamps. Part II. Where would I find the color schemes offered for the stude that year? and now for something completely different. I just joined about two weeks ago and I want to say this site is amazing I spend hours on here learning so much. I love the fact I can walk away from the 'puter and apply what I have learned. Or if I'm at the worlbench I can just jump on my phone. You guys don't know what this hobby and website has done for me. Both are keeping me sober/clean if I get the urge to do something bad I just sit down at my workbench and soon the craving (and time lol) disappear. Thank you everyone who makes this site what it is

I'm painting both a 1:1 and a 1/25. I know it says green but it sprayed terquoise. I even had my gf miss "thats not yellow it's called sunrise" agree that it matched the old paint pretty good but I got to thinking the paint is probably not something u want to use on scale engines. It is a high temp paint and I think would be to hot for them? Don't quote me on that.

After searching all over to get the correct paint for my 1:1 chrysler 361ci. An old timer who I trust more then most told me I was making it to hard. He said just go to the tractor supply and grab a can of detroit desiel engine paint. I did and by golly it's almost a spot on match. No more searching the endless array of paints at the local hobby shops.

Yup that is the one I found too and I thought to my self how in the world?

I can't remember where I saw it. But I remember seeing a 70 super bee detail kit. I think it was photo etched but it could of been decals? Does anybody know where I can find them?

All the valve covers for the 426 hemi that I see are chrome plated is there a kit that has the proper valve covers or how would a person go about making the crinkel painted covers???

re visiting this topic. I may be making this harder then it is idk? The size sheet styrene seems a lil thin for a 3/8" metal. Would u guys makie the bracket out of two peices of styrene or just one that is scored and bent to make up the two demensions? Does anybody have a pic of one they did?

Two part question. Part I. I want to make models of the real cars I own. I have found models of the 69 camaro, a 70 which I can make into a 72 camaro, 79 camaro to match my 81. Now I need a third gen camaro to match my 87. Does or did anybody make a 82-92 camaro? If so how can I get my hands on one? Part I I. I also have a 63 chrysler new yorker with a 413 and 727 push-button-auto did any one make a 63-64 Chrysler newport, new yorker, 300 this car is my baby and I would pay a lot for a model kit like my baby if there is one.

I just got an airbrush the other day and already I don't like those cans of compressed air . Do you guys have any thoughts and suggestions on a small quiet compressor that a person could use? Keep in mind I live in an apartment so I stress the word quiet.

Thanks tommy

I plan on making my camaro a street/strip car. I was wondering if I could use the parts tree material for my roll cage? Something tells me that they would work but would be way out of scale

I bit the bullet today. I figured the only way to prevent brush stokes was to buy an airbrush I got a beginner model the badger 200-3 deluxe (comes with accs I guess lol) I hope to have it up and running soon.

I have seen them at detail master

As I said before I'm new to this hobby. I'm starting with testors acrylic paint for the interior. I am having problems with the paints showing my brush strokes. Do I need to thin my paints down or is it how I'm applying them? Sorry for the rookie questions

Thanks guys for the help!!

Hello I'm new to the forum. I'm just starting to get into the hobby. I'm wondering how a person would go about making an alternator bracket for my Amt 70 1/2 camaro? This will be the first of many question I'm sure thanks guys
