After a long break from modeling, Im now back and a lot of things have
changed.
I used to use Enamels for everything, but have been experimenting Quite
successfully (UNTIL TONITE) with oils for washing and painting certain parts

I noticed that WalMart now carries House of Kolor paints instead of the
Testors brand.
I've never heard of this brand and a little web surfing seems to
indicate that they originated in the auto industry.  I wasn't able to

I'm currently assembling a Fast and furious Toyota Supra kit. Normally
I'd file some flush off parts with it. However, I cannot seem to figure
out how to take them off plated parts. Is there a way to get rid of
these flush off plated parts?

Hi Troops:
    I have my agitator's hat on tonight. Lets have a poll on what is the
stupidest show on TV. My vote is for "Wifeswap"!

How many here remember this kit. What scale was it made in.  I seem to
think it was 1/48 does that sound right.  Was it ever re-issued under
Monogram or any other brand.  Just how hard is it to find one of these

hi Gang,
I am looking for ideas for armor bases. We currently produce a few now
but would like to increase our line. Please email me directly with your
ideas. And if chosen we will credit your idea on the box art

Can anyone tell me if someone makes a set of WWII French markings for
armored vehicles.
Thanks

Does anyone know if this  kit is out anywhere yet? If so has someone
had a chance to look at it for comparison to the Revellogram kit. I
wonder if its like most Dragon kits which are nice looking in the box
but somewhat of a bear to build? Also does anyone know who actually did

I'm currently building an RF-4C in USAF SEA camo. This is the first time in
over 25 years that I've built something in that colour scheme.  (It's also
the first time that I've been satisfied with the colour of the FS30219
paint - this time I mixed my own!)

I'm just gearing up for a major - and I mean *major* - Phantom phrenzy.  I'm
going to be using the Hasegawa 1/72 kits.
I have plans for three F-4Js, but there are currently none in the Hasegawa
