Nope, I'm talking about denatured alcohol. I saw that tip here on the forum. Do a search for denatured alcohol in the Model Building Q & A. Got a gallon at WM and it works better than anything I've tried so far. Didn't destroy anything. I'm going to give the water and acetone mixture a shot too. Here's a pic of the stuff I'm using now. http://smg.photobucket.com/user/baddogracing/media/Model%20Car%20Photos/DSC_4273_zps7930f330.jpg.html

Want one, bad.

Nice looking models! I love WRC!

Great looking cars and a good variety also. I enjoy seeing American cars in other countries.

I've tried a lot of glues that are recommended here on the forum. I've just started using Super Jet and it has become my go to glue for almost everything. I ordered some of their medium thickness and it's pretty thin. I may try some of their thicker stuff next time.

Looks good so far. I'm anxious to see the finished product. I'm working on the Fireball Roberts 57 Ford.

Nice! The decal work is great!

Love the car and the color!

Beautiful! Always loved the 59 Caddies and Chebbies.

The SMER was one of the first kits I tried when I returned to the hobby. I thought it would be easy but the seam did present problems for my limited skills. I may create something different with it some day.

This is what I use. Works well and doesn't smell bad at all. http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/hlc/hlc151.htm

My thoughts exactly, I totally agree!

There are no rules.

Great execution and unique blending of parts. That would make a cool 1:1.

Great looking model. The two tone is unique.

Tamiya TS76 Mica Silver is pretty fine. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=91357

Great job!

That's a great job! I hope the one I've got turns out that good.

Denatured alcohol. It's the only thing I've found that will work on Tamiya lacquers.

Saw one at the first autocross I ever went to and fell in love. Finally found a good one and raced it in the mid 90s. It had a 2.0 in it and handled like a go-kart. Sold it to a guy in New York that built a vintage racer out of it. Wish I still had it but that goes for a number of cars that I've owned.

All of my old ones are packaged together somewhere at a friends parents house along with all of his. We worked on them back in the early 60s. He passed away about 17 years ago. I asked his Dad if I could have them back then and he was hesitant. I understood and never pressed the issue afterwards. Went to visit them a couple of years ago and didn't bring it up. Those models hold a lot of sentimental value for his parents and myself. I hope they're not in the attic. You're lucky to have yours back.

I use one from an old computer power supply. 10 amps sounds high.

I like it a lot!

There aren't enough superlatives to describe your work. If I'm ever half that good, I'll be better than I thought I'd ever be.

Love the period colors. The trim and chrome look great and the detail work is excellent!
