    I have some propellant you can have if you want. I never use my airbrush anymore, everything I need is found at auto value

    What do you paint the bodies with? Mine goes 3-5 coats primer, ~5 coats paint, 2-3 coats clear coat. I cut it down with medium cut meguires then fine cut turtle wax, and put a super hard shell of turtle wax.

    I have about 10-13 unfinished ones and about a dozen more in a box. I want to get rid of these things! Any takers? If so, you could prolly use a bunch of the other parts and build some funky ass hybrids.

    I've probably got 25 or 30 kits waiting for me to get off my ass and work on them. Lots of finished ones that I did when I was younger and a couple that I've done more recently that I'm more proud of.

    Should get back into it one of these days but not having a good, permanent bench set up really bites.

    Ludelvr: what kits do you have laying around?

    Which ones do you have list them. IF they are fujimi or Tamiya?
    If so how much?

    180882 that is the niced crx model i have ever seen. i haven't worked on my models for a long time. i've got two crx's but i did them when i was only 14 so i didn't take the time to work on them. 180882 you need to tell me how you did all the work to the car.

    I listed all the cars that I have in the marketplace. They are all either 1:24 or 1:25 scale and they will need to be redone.

    One problem I had when I used to do model cars, when I tried painting a light color on plastic that's dark (ie: white or yellow paint on a car that comes in black plastic), you can still see the original color underneath the paint once it's dried. Any suggestions how to get around that? I have an old porsche model I'd love to do in white, but the plastic color is like dark blue
