Thanks for the help so far. I didn't actually have a problem with the paint itself. I used tamiya ts paint and ts clear. I think my problem was I did not prep and clean the resin good before primer and whatever it is it keeps popping through the paint, that's why I figured it would be better to strip it and start over.

What is the best thing for stripping tamiya paint off a resin body that won't harm the resin? Thanks for any help.

Mine hasn't arrived yet in ohio

Well I got a whole case of 16, I better start opening all them tomorrow with fingers crossed 🤞,I only got one 1968 f-250 and the hood is terrible. I won't jump to buy anymore moebius kits until I see all the reviews next time. For what we pay for these kits now you should not have to be running parts under hot water to build them.

Same problem I experienced. My smelled like mineral spirits. Although I probably won't use the primer any more I've used scale finishes paint with no real problems.

Yes, and if you get one open asap. Mine has a severely warped hood

Has anyone used the scale finishes super primer? I sprayed it for the first time this morning and it has not dried and feel kind of sticky after about 10 hours of drying today. Sprayed it today with humidity in the 50's.

Does anyone know if they still make parts? Looking to get some of his vertex magneto's if still available

What was the paint color on the hideout truck? It looks black, but some pictures I have seen it looks like a dark metallic blue.

Where was the bandag pulled from? They are both still listed on stevens site as TBA.

Seen this on stevens site, Amt-pp22 1/25 firestone drag 500 tire pack (8)

So this would eliminate the risk of the paint fumes igniting?

I'm interested in building my own booth also, what is the advantage or why use a bilge fan?

I'm doing a two tone paint scheme. Painting my light color first which is model master lacquer spray can. My second (darker) color is tamiya ts lacquer spray can. Has anybody put the tamiya over the model master with any success or is it to hot? Thanks for any help.

What is the difference in the two? Not a truck guy as far as 1:1 goes. They look almost the same on the box arts.

My original issue of this kit doesn't have the Alcoa wheels, only the wheels on the box. I don't think this kit originally had two sets of wheels.

to much other free sites available, Facebook, youtube, other forums ect. So charing probably wouldn't work. I buy every issue from my LHS but don't subscribe because of the timing also, could be the reason some companies don't advertise products.

Had a few torn, my mail man likes to fold mine around the rest of my mail with a big crease in it. Then one of my scale model magazines comes with a label stuck to the cover that hides most of the cover contents, if that doesn't change I will not be renewing it. Bags would eliminate that, but good luck.

Seen on the stevens hobby site they are TBA. Any info on this?

I got a 2mm yesterday and have been doing my own testing. The look is truly amazing for touch up. I applied it to a few scrap sprues and let It dry good. Handling it to much turned mine dull or silver looking. Then I sprayed testors clear lacquer over it and it turned silver. So If the alclad clear works I would suggest it. As far as the pen I pulled the tip all the way out of the pen, it is roughly an inch long and has the same shape on both ends so you could flip it or possibly use a sharp exacto knife and shape one end for fine detail which I plan to do. Testors also makes replacement fine tips for thier paint markers that also might be a possibility. I don't have any so I don't know for sure if they would fit but it's just a thought. Just wanted to share what I have tried so far with the others here. Tomorrow I will shave one end of the tip down for some fine detail work and see how it turns out on some window trim.

Do anybody know the correct paint for this truck? Who sells it?

Anyone know the hobby lobby price yet?

Anybody have any info on this year's show?

Well for this project I am not using the grill. I just need the upper and lower nose and bumper. It is for a short track dirt car.

Thanks snake, looks like they shut the website down for awhile due to overwhelming orders due to retirement. If anybody else knows of any let me know, if not I will just have to wait until they start taking orders again.
