MPC '67 Vette “Night Stalker”--A "Gitter Done" Slump-Buster
gtx6970 replied to Snake45's topic in Model Cars
I'm not a Vette can in any way. But I've built one of those streaker Vette kits many many years ago. Now that it's reissued. I might have to try one again. I've always thought the 63 to 67 versions were the best of the lot. -
If they made it exactly like that pictured shows, with everything included . I'll pay that for it

best way to access accurate 68 RoadRunner Blue?
gtx6970 replied to fiatboy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
PS, B5 wasn't a color avail in 1968 . Thats a 1969 and 1970 color - coded EB5 , 1971 it became GB5 and is just a touch darker than previous years For 1968 Roadrunner the Blues were . EE1 , QQ1 and UU1. QQ1 is the closest to B5 but Q1 has a tad brighter brilliance to it. To answer the OP, the best bet is with the smaller companies making paints specifically for model car use. Scale Finishes is enamel. MCW is a lacquer -
Beating a Dead Horse
gtx6970 replied to TarheelRick's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Just my opinion But If I paid for 6 issues a year. And I assume that means all 6 within a 12 month span beginning from the start date of subscription,,,. I except said issues. I seem to remember reading a while back capitol was needed to continue, basically telling me money from new subscribers was going to pay for old back ordered issues. Sorry, and I mean no ill towards the owner, but that's a recipe for disaster from the word go. -

Exhibition cars , how many were kitted ?
gtx6970 replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I stand corrected. I wasnt 100% sure when the HUG versus the Funnycar issue related to each other time frame wise (meaning which one came 1st ) -

gtx6970 replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
this may be true. But it was boxed and marketed from the beginning as Hemi Under Glass -
The way I understand it. the OP wants to fog paint over thin pinstripes ( like shown in the picture ) for that he needs to lay a very thin pinstripe tape down and paint along said tape with a very small tipped air brush And btw, I did NOT use an airbrush or tape. Fireball 500 was done last year

Agreed, All I listed are on my bench or just to the side of it and all get work done to them from time to time . My Golden Commandos car is box stock with nothing added except Fred Cady decals. The Lawman 64 Plymouth is pretty close to that except a Johan hood scoop , an auto trans from another lindberg kit and a pre-wired dist. Right now, Nothing is getting worked on. Models for me are a Fall and Winter hobby The Superbird and the Challenger have never been far away from the immediate work area or my mind. But neither is box stock and are the 2 most detailed builds I've attempted in several years. My problem is I get bored with adding detail and the slow pace it requires so only work on those 2 when I have the inclination. I much prefer box stock builds. They're easier, smoother with less headaches ( most of the time )

Steering wheel "Wrap"???
gtx6970 replied to 426-Hemi's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Have you thought about taking two Xacto blades spaced apart accordingly the width you want. And cut stripes of electrical tape,,,,. they carefully just wrap it around the wheel . Maybe with a little dab of superglue on the end -
