april 14th bishop macdonell school on clair road

eh another canuck welcome, i'm not to far from you, lots of great people here with lots of knowledge and great builds

Trial and error, after a few builds you'll figure out which way best suits yourself i'm sure you'll do great

like i said every one here will have there on opinions and there own practices on doing this, this is my way, i've never had a problem doing it this way

I too have only been back in the hobby for a few months,, I think you will get a lot of different answers to this but myself i leave all the small parts on the sprue then prime and paint, then take them off the sprue to clean up the spots where it was attached then i just dab paint on the parts were it was attached, all the larger parts, body,hood,frame, seat pan and so on i prime those off the sprue

Fantastic job

I do wear latex all the time when painting, the prints showed up doing the BMF prior to final assembly

i thought about another coat but don't really want to put the clear over BMF

they are on top of clear

Okay i just finished my 71 hemi cuda and has the best paint and BMF i've did so far, and noticed finger prints in clear coat i used krylon crystal clear and let it dry for 6 days before i attempted to touch it , the prints showed up while i was doing the foil,,What can i use to get rid of the paw prints

All i can say is WOW!!! I know i'll be getting half a dozen

go to www.testors.com you can see all the color paint chips it does come in the 3 oz spray can

BOB,,, you can try wheels and wings @1880 danforth ave 416 752 0071,,, hornet hobbies 1563 o'conner drive 416 755 4878 give them a call first to see if they have it,, they should i know the one i deal with in dundas has it

WOW!!!! very nice very nice indeed , it brings back alot of memeories with my dad behind the wheel of one in the late 60's early 70's

I" keep a q tip by my side from now on ,i know when i cleaned the brush there was a build up of paint on the tip thanks guys

if i got it i use tamiya thinner which i did if i don't have it i use 70 % iso alcohol

Keep it coming , lotta great stuff, i'll have to start marking things down

it did have a bit of a build up guess i'll keep an eye on it in the future thanks

Okay i just airbrushed 71 cuda with tamiya orange for the most part it was spraying with a fine mist but every now and then there would be some larger than mist spots show up i thinned it and air psi was about 20 25 psi what would have been the cause of the small blobs

For me it's modelexpress, spotlighthobbies,or model Roundup and a couple of local hobby shops

Looks great

Finally received mine today in excellent shape

Mail delivery dropped off 1 case of tamiya Fine White primer and 1 case of grey

Nicholas great job on the carpet, i tried embossing powder not sure what i did wrong but it didn't look like that

Well this is the only one i could find on the computer it just so happens my beautiful wife is in it also
