A great addition to your airbrush family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPNM Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Great to hear from you and thank you Bill. You seemed to be off the forum for a while. I hope you are OK. The cup is a unique design. It is a nice brush. I had sent a PM to you about a month ago regarding a Holbein Y-1 brush I had gotten. Doesn't look like you've read it yet.

ChrisBcritter Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Got another NOS original issue '63 Nova wagon interior; had to pay through the nose this time - word must be getting out about it having better detail than the new one. Now to order up the full detail kit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning to buy a third one tonight that I had made an offer on. I'll have to stop for a while after it though. I'll post pics when they get here.

Bill Eh? Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Moving forward with my Mooneyes required some additional Evergreen supplies. I started cutting pieces from my package of Ignition Wire w/Boot, from Gofer Racing, only to discover that only about 2' of wire are included. The cost from my LHS was around $6. So I did some measuring and discovered that 26 gauge wire is close in diameter. I found a local source that sold spools of 26 guage black coloured copper, 24 yds for $2.99. That will last me a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike999 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 A pair of the Round 2 '63 Nova wagons with trailer and other goodies. The only hobby shop for many miles had them in stock. I had planned to order them online, but this way I don't have to pay shipping and get them immediately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the same thing. Bought the kit, took out the gun rack and sold the rest of the kit on eBay. Naturally, not long after that, some guy was selling 3 of the gun racks on eBay for a good price. So I bought them too. Maybe with 4 gun racks, I can piece together one good Winchester rifle. Need it for a diorama idea. I was hoping to find one on a cheap 75mm figure, but they usually have a hand or two molded to the rifle. What a weird hobby...

Great simple kit that looks great when built . I have one of these on the bench and it isn't as simple as it looks. The plastic in mine seemed like it was soaked in a vat of EVOO. Even after washing with dish soap and water, the primer bubbled on the interior parts, forcing a 4-day swim in "the pond" for all the black and red parts. Even painted, the floors fought me all the way trying to get embossing powder to adhere. The engraving on the seats is pretty light, so I decided to use the kit decals for the inserts instead of masking and spraying. The decals immediately adhered to wherever they touched first. No sliding or adjustment possible, even with the seat being wet with water with a drop of dish soap. Lastly, whoever designed the body molds managed to put the mold parting lines in about the worst possible places, especially the one across the front of the hood, just above the "Chevrolet" script and the matching one on the trunk. At least it kinda looks like a 57 BelAir and should look good on the shelf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Strange, I have built 3 before buying these and didn't have any problems. Body does require some sanding and prep but Duplicolor filler primer worked great for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodent Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) My first hit of primer on the interior was Tamiya, so of course the pond took a long time to work even though it was wet when I dropped it in. What was your experience with the decals? Body turned out nice at least. Paint and primer stuck nicely after I dropped it in the pond for a few days to get the grease off of it. I just need to finish building it. It's Scale Finishes Harbor Blue. Interior is the same, with the black inserts on the seats and door panels.
