Re: Paintwork that went wrong

Always used Tamiya aerosol primer and never had any problem with Zero paints. Lighter coats to get coverage only until you have the correct shade. They are basecoat paint and need a clear over the top to get the gloss. All the colour does is just that, give the colour. Don't attempt wet coats with t...

Re: Hasegawa Williams FW14b 1/24th Mansel

Lovely build, looks spot on, especially the colours. What blue did you use from Mr Color?

Re: McLaren F1-GTR Harrods version

Thanks for your reply. I was thinking to go plain yellow. I think too that the pearl effect, if any, would probably be very minimal..

McLaren F1-GTR Harrods version

I'm looking to build a Fujimi 1/24 McLaren F1-GTR as the yellow Harrods version that competed at Le Mans in 1995. After doing a little poking around, there is some suggestion that the yellow may be a pearl finish on that car, not just a straight yellow? Anyone know for sure? Thanks in advance..

Re: Lancia Delta S4, BeeMax, 1:24

I can't see any of the pictures and I've checked my settings in Chrome and I can't find any option to allow insecure content. I'm using Android.

Just tried my other browser and now I can see, very impressive build!!!

Re: Hiroboy stopped delievering to EU

That Brexit was going to be a farce from the start. I don't know why they bothered with it. The biggest market for English caught fish is mainland Europe. Rule of business, don't fall out with your customers, or they won't be your customers for long. Means I'll probably have to pay customs and impor...

Re: issue with HLJ

I had some photo etch parts on hold since March. Only shipped them last month. They had no problem to hold them for me. You shouldn't have any issue at all.

Re: Beautiful New Tamiya Release Coming; What is it?

Nothing for me. Glad they have released a 1/24 car but this is not something I'm interested in at all. Would have preferred the Toyota Yaris WRC, but that's just me....

Re: Beautiful New Tamiya Release Coming; What is it?

If it's anything automotive, in any scale, I'd be surprised. They've not done anything remotely interesting in any scale in automotive for so long, here's hoping. A 1/24th Toyota Yaris WRC would be nice...

Re: Brabham BT50

Very nice and well built, I like it a lot!! Always thought this car looked a little odd without any front wing blades..
