Re: ZP resin & metal etching prime alternative

I have ordered Zero Paints from Paul Meadows at paintsmodelsandmore.com he is in Canada which works pretty well for the US. He doesn't have a decent website yet but you can get a hold of him at pmminfo@shaw.ca

Re: MENG BMW HP4 RACE 1/9

Beautifully built kit! I have this one in the stash so its nice to see one so well built. I love the 1/9 scale bike kits, they are big enough scale that my old eyes can see. I'd be interested to see where this chain can be gotten as well.
