Terry Sumner Posted March 2, 2010 Posted March 2, 2010 Wow! For not having color sanded and polished, that paint job sure laid out smooth! Nice job!
Jon Cole Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 almost correct...do not use acid core due to leakage. my rosen core solders are 4 years old to current and no leaks yet...solid core is usually to thick and stiff to work with . I think Dave Zinn has a shot of the acid leaking headers ... Definitely want to avoid acid core solder! I found out the hard way...
Deckerz Posted March 3, 2010 Posted March 3, 2010 Great job on the headers and the paint. Do you use real car paint? Iv only been using tamiya right now and its not so good.

Ragnar Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 Nice Work, not only on the headers, but on the whole build! I like you AVATAR, I flew with Gateway RC for many years. CHEERS!
Alyn Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 This thing is really progressing nicely. The details are looking good, but man oh man, the paint is a knockout. I grabbed some bottles of Boyd's purple enamel on a clearance shelf a while back and have been looking for a project to use it on. I will feel blessed if it lays down anywhere near as nice as yours. Did you shoot this from a rattle can, or airbrush? The color is a great choice as well. It really should pop with the other colors you described.
pharr7226 Posted March 4, 2010 Posted March 4, 2010 I noticed the pipe nipple and the enamel paint, which Donn Yost advocates. Did you use the Yost method for the beautiful paint job?
Jon Cole Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Don't want to hi jack the thread, but are those two tires glued together. Wow... it only took me a year to notice this question... No, not two tires. That is (iirc) the rears from the Willys kit. I did sand the tread, but that seam still shows. It's not that obvious in person... I think.
