One coat of grey primer followed by a light coat of white primer before white paint. You can skip the white primer, but you will need a couple more coats of white paint. I use testors grey primer followed by two coats of testors white enamel spray paint with good results.

You have PM THE FERRARI IS TRADED. I still have the rest of the kits for trade.

So I purchased this tonight. I have superglue, but wanted something a little thicker, and less runny for this.

I only buy Wet look clear, and I can say that I have had foaming from it. I find that if I shake it and let it settle, it comes out ok. Sometimes I give it a quick shake and let it sit for 30 seconds to a minute before spraying. Some cans do it, some don't, but if I let it settle, I have no problems. Shaking it seems to create bubbles in some cans. Not sure why.

I purchased a so-called Modelhaus resin wagon body for Revell Caprice/Impala SS models. I am not sure if it was or not, but it needed far too much work up front to work and look right. I have had more than a few Jimmy Flintstone bodies, and they are not bad at all. This thing was horrible. I said if I could take the part of the sedan body that is the same as the wagon, and the wagon specific part of the resin body that would be my best bet. So after much deliberation, I stuck it back in the box for a couple years. Yesterday I decided to see if I could cut the resin body up without destroying it beyond use. I think I did an ok job. I still have some sanding to do to get the two to mate up as they should. On the real car, the back is wider starting at the C-pillar, so the back doors bow outward a bit. This seems to be about the same with the model. The gap on the roof will come together once the doors line up with the quarters. My big question is: Should I use Superglue to mate the two parts together, or is there another glue better suited for what I am looking to do?

Outstanding. I love that you have the issue with the van. I especially like the off-road van.

Mail call from A few Sprues loose, and Hobby Inc. M1009 conversions for Revell Blazer, and a couple police push bars, and a 1/16 1964 1/2 Mustang.

Now we just need someone to do a 6.2 diesel/TH400 combo.

Since a Blazer can be considered a car, truck, or SUV I figured I would share this good news to those who need to hear it.😀 A few Spruse Loose on Ebay has released a M1009 conversion for the Revell Blazer/Jimmy.

The kid who swallows the marble does not grow up to be president. However, even low IQ people can do basic math if taught. I remember going to a McDonalds a few years back to get an Iced Coffee. The bill was $1.63. I gave the kid $2.13 cents that consisted of 2 one-dollar bills, two nickels, and three pennies. He stood there for a second and handed me back the change. I told him I wanted two quarters back. after a little back and forth his manager came over and could not figure out why I would want to do that, but told him to just key it in, and the machine would tell him what to give back. I left thinking that it does not take much to stop traffic in the human mind, yet we put a man on the moon?

As the title says. I have 30 kits I am looking to trade as a lot for a big 1/8 scale Monogram kit or a combo of kits for a 1/16 scale kit. My eyesight is getting bad, and I have too many 1/24-1/25 scale kits. 1st pic is all 30 kits 2nd pic is all the kits that are 100% complete, and unstarted. 3rd and 4th pic is what has been started on those two kits. 5th-9th have painted bodies only, and are complete, and unbuilt 10th pic is a few that may have missing parts, but the car can still be 100% built with what is in the box. The Coronet is missing the trailer, the Ranchero is missing some of the custom pieces, the Chopped-T is missing the second car. You can still build the Chopped-T on the box, and the olds is missing the racer cockpit cover, and can still be built. I am looking to trade the whole lot for a 1/8 scale Monogram model kit or mix and match for 1/16 scale kits. Started is ok but must be complete. Thanks for looking

Mail call today. 1985 Mustang SVO sealed inside the box from Ebay, and a Richard Petty donor model Roadrunner, with correct decals from 1971 from Mike's Decals This was a much cheaper option than trying to find an original MPC kit on Ebay. Oh, and a Ford GT40 purchased locally.

When should we expect the new changes?

Perfect sleeper.

When should we expect the new changes?

I am using one of the VCG Resin grill guards to fit a square body by tuning it upside down and making basic mods to make it fit. I was thinking about using this one for a AMT GMT400 by cutting it in the center to give it an angled v shape to follow the shape of the grill. 5th Gen Ford F-Series Grill Guard — VCG Resins by Reese

The correct decals from Mike's decals to go with this kit. The original kit was David Pearson, but these decals allow for the AJ Foyt Dayton 500 winner.

Great accurate build. Over the last 40+ years, I have come to the conclusion that someone on set must have thought George Furth looked a little bit like AJ Foyt, so they gave his character that name.

I think this is the last purchases for a while. While model building can break out into two hobbies. Building and collecting, I have been doing way more collecting than building this year.

I for one appreciate Round2, Revell, and Moebius and others who have not only kept the hobby going but re-energized it. Over the years however I have seen cars come and go thinking those would make great models. I could never understand why the model industry ignored the Colonnade Cars from 73-77. You might find a race car version, or even 1/32 scale, but the 1/25-1/24 scale was missing in action. I would love to see more military in 1/25 scale instead of the old 1/35 scale. More wagons. Not just 2 door wagons, but real world "Don't make me pull this car over" 4 door wagons. It comes down to this: Many cars and trucks were ignored over the years. Popular cars mostly starting with the 70s cars after the muscle car era ended. Keep doing what you are doing but bring back annual kits along with filling in the gaps from the past.

I totally agree. We need more newer stuff. More 70s, 80s, and 90s stuff. Maybe more 2000s too. Even obscure stuff can be cool. How many times can you re-pop the same old cars from the 40s, 50s and 60s. I would love to see a 2004 Silverado SS, or a 04 Cadillac CTS-V, or later CTS wagon or coupe, or some of the early 70s GM intermediates. How about a mid 80s Crown Victoria, or Fairmont, or an Escort GT, or Dodge Magnum I was so excited last year learning about the release of the 84 K5 Blazer from Revell. It was about time. How about Mobius do a series of 73-90 GM trucks like they have done with the Fords. How about a square body Suburban so I do not have to use two kits to build one.

I believe Monogram started making 1/8 scale models in 1965 with the introduction of the 1965 Corvette. It has been re-popped a few times including as a Revell kit in the past ten years.

Another successful Hobby lobby adoption.

I am sure you are the only one who sees the flaws in your work. All I see is road trip!😀 Outstanding job.
