You're going to get 14 answers starting with "I heard..." or "I think...", all of which will be useless. Decant some. Try lacquer thinner (which works great in old Testors bottle enamel). Try enamel reducer from a real-car-paint outlet. If those don't work, try other stuff (except water). Then you'll know for sure.

He gave the best answer to your question. haha.

While y'all are being happy, take a minute to remember what it's about...

Those thin areas separating the holes takes the delicate touch of a brain surgeon, especially in thin styrene stock, but it's doable.

I didn't "need" these at all, but they were cheap, they make great parts donors, and as this is the last generation of "stock" cars I have any interest in whatsoever (and damm near every other kind of racing is represented in my collection already) I'll build one of 'em, for sure.

That's always worked for me, in 1:1 too.

Did you try the link Joe posted?

"Winner" is not the same thing as "whiner", though it would seem some folks get confused about the concepts.

I hope the chlorine doesn't turn your pink hair green.

Bowl of hot, peppery, tomatoey cheese dip, one of guacamole, warm tortillas, and a Modelo Negra. Fresh strawberries for dessert, with strong black coffee. I'm now clam-happy.

It depends on which browser you're using. I can see it on Firefox.

"Sodom" is one of those words that inspire all manner of jokes that are sure to result in a ban.

Ya know...idiocy isn't limited to just one side of the political aisle, and there's no shortage of it on either side, To imply otherwise...

Bottle babies miss a lot.

Rash replies to posts bordering on the political may land you in a time-out.

But wait...don't you know that in today's much more gooder world anyone with a shiny new degree in the History of Competitive Tiddlywinks or something equally useful can perform well as a manager in ANY field, just as long as they're the right gender or ethnicity to fill the quotas? Wake up, man. The world has changed. Time to get on board.

Scenes Unlimited's product line has apparently been bought by ST Supply in Canada, but so far, many of the old SU products haven't made it back to market yet. https://stsupplyco.com/

800 wet is fine. But if you have "pebbly" metallic, you need to sand it flat, then shoot one good wet coat...assuming you want the color to look like it's supposed to look.

Me too...

Yes, there's no question that knowledgeable and intentional shooting of metallics 'dry' can indeed make the flakes stand up, and the finish "pop" more...but it's a difficult skill to master, especially on real cars where any intentional manipulation of how the flakes lie can very easily lead to streaks and blotches.

Well, since you brought it up Dan, I don't think you guys can fairly bust my chops for making a "political" response. It's no longer necessary for an adversary to pursue such outdated tactics as "invade". All they now need do is line up at the border claiming to be "asylum seekers", and we'll give 'em free transportation anywhere they want to go, and free shelter and benefits when they get there. What a deal.

There is, however, an often overlooked problem with shooting metallics too dry, and "building up the color in light coats", both on models AND REAL CARS. Many people just don't see it. Shoot metallics dry, and you'll get a slightly mottled texture that, when clear-coated, is magnified. Again, apparently the majority of people just don't see it, but it's not what the paint is SUPPOSED to look like, and to me looks like Fido's backside.

Well, I almost always get my stuff eventually, but anything time-critical, forget it. Stuff I ship is the same. Two packages of parts shipped "Priority" Sat. AM, delivery at destinations estimated for Monday PM, stuff finally arrived Thursday PM, and in the meantime was completely off the "tracking" radar. So why the hello did I pay for "Priority"?
