MarkJ Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 This is a must read when doing a black widow race car. Also reminds you not to put too big a tire on your model that will make it not look just right.
TransAmMike Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 Thats a great find there Ed. Has anyone here actually built a fully detailed per factory spec Black Widow??
r60man Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 I am building a Black widow right now. Having issues with foil, I think mine is too old and not sticking as well as it should. Thinking I should just paint it. But this is a great resource, thanks!

BMF will get hard to use with age especially if its not kept in an air proof environment. should store it in a zip lock bag. Also I had to actually get some from the actual guy that makes the stuff before I got some good fresh product.
TransAmMike Posted October 27, 2020 Posted October 27, 2020 Good to know about the zip lock bag thing Mark. Got some new foil on the way.

Hope you get some good stuff. I ordered some from micro mark and had nothing but problems with it. Thats when i sought out the actual guy who makes it and ordered it from him. That product worked good but now i cant remember who i ordered it from when I need some more.
TransAmMike Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Mark, was the foil from MicroMark the "new improved" version or the "ultra chrome" version??

I got some of both and neither one stuck very well. I dont know if maybe it has a shelf life and micro mark let it get past its shelf life.
TransAmMike Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Well not too encouraging. I think the sheet I ordered comes in Saturday from an ebay seller (hobby shop).
