Kyle Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Having no motivation to really finish any projects I spotted this at the local hobby shop and couldn't resist. Despite having lots of flash and some offset molding the plastic is soft and easy to clean up. I used Tamiya spray can paints and the gloss coat is 'Future'. I removed the chrome using 'Purple Power', learned this from one of the car guys in our local club here in Albuquerque. Purple Power is a degreaser sold at auto stores or WalMart. It has no odor, leaves no residue on the parts and can be reused. The decals are thin didn't tear while adjusting and reacted well to Miro Set and Sol. Now I just need to find the Revell Thunderbird truck I saw on ebay, but not at the price they where asking! Now I having a blast with the Tamiya P-51.

Kyle Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) Thanks! The decals where a big reason I got it. Hadn't built a Semi since I was a kid. I now have three more to do. The Chrome paint was a new brand I have never seen called SPAZ STIX. It comes in a spray can and they have various shades of chrome and I think gold also. I needs a gloss black base just like Allclad. Kyle Edited September 20, 2011 by Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
