Couldn't ask for a smoother transaction than my deal with TarheelRick. Thanks again, man!

Glad to hear you may be back on these! It's been a fun ride-along.

Very nice looking models, and as much as I like a red car, that blue looks VERY cool on that body!

This is the kind of build I really enjoy following; taking what's in the box and making the very best of it! Keep it up!

I agree that this may be coming from the resin itself, and recommend your first coat be a layer of etching primer to serve as a barrier. I use this to prevent bleed-through on kits molded in red plastic. Etching or "self-etching" primers are widely available these days in spray cans. I know my Harbor Freight, Wal-Mart, and Autozone have a version, and I'm sure you'll be able to find some. You may decant it and airbrush it, or some spray good enough right out of the can; you just need a thin even coat. Use your favorite light colored primer on top of this, and paint away.

I've been using one of these for over 3 years now; an insanely great bargain: https://www.ebay.com/itm/5Pcs-Electrical-Wire-Cable-Cutter-Cutting-Plier-Side-Snips-Flush-Pliers-Tool-US/133244633012?_trkparms=aid%3D555018%26algo%3DPL.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131003132420%26meid%3D3c800f8721d742e5902bde1781b0eef4%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D12%26mehot%3Dco%26sd%3D352785013790%26itm%3D133244633012%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D2047675%26algv%3DSimplAMLv5PairwiseWeb&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851

So nice.

Wow, that really has a very pleasing sculptural quality to it; I just enjoy looking at it! How big is the actual model?

Nice over the top 50s-60s custom car! This one has every trick in the customizers' bag-o-tricks thrown at it, and I love it! The interior is my favorite aspect, and I do believe I spy some AMT 58 Impala custom bits in there. The one no-no that nags me is the fact you added a flare to the radiused rear wheel opening but didn't repeat the flare on the front wheel opening; George Barris is rolling over in his bubbletop coffin.

Wicked color choice, that really wears that gray!

Good job! That color is NICE!

Kleeeen refined kustom, nice colors inside and out; what's not to love!

Also glad to hear this!

Didn't work... it's not red.

It is VERY nice.

Nice job, I see they are releasing a 1/1000 version in the coming months. I like the look of it, and you did a bang-up job on this little feller!

Very neat detail!

Pretty cool. Who made that body? The swoop ( or lack of) of the front of the C-pillar makes me think maybe this was mastered from a 4-door body. Any insights on the source? I like the sport coupes a lot, and would like to have a few more. You did a nice job on this one!

That is a really cool custom! Great idea, and you are right on that GM couldda and shouldda.

Beautiful lines on this bike; I dig it!

What a friend you have there! Fun reviews, and while I was there I cast my vote. (It's ALL about the ugly...)

Nice job, love that body color! Now I see where you put that engine you accidentally messaged pictures of to me!?

Hey, thanks for that info! I am really liking the look of this, even though it's not my normal cup of tea, and I may yet have to add one to the stash.

Looks really nice out of the box, but how is the fit and finish of these kits? I'm not familiar with this manufacturer.
