    Keep in mind that neither of those have clear coat.
    There's not really any "great" clear anymore from Testors (Rustoleum), but these 2 and the Duplicolor Crystal Clear are pretty good with little clean-up (wet-sand).
    Again, higher pressures on the Testors now so test shoot on something else for proper distance.
    Otherwise look into an affordable airbrush.

    Loved the 38 Chevy from the first time I saw it in 1984 at Des Moines KKOA.

    Great idea on a group build. Yes, the world needs more Kustoms. Kustoms with a K are right up my alley, just doubt if I can eek out the time to participate, even with the Oct 1st deadline.

  4. It’s a loose deadline. Build away!

    I'll give it a try on one of my more mild projects. Would feel good to knock one out.

    Picked up a couple for future builds. Also some non HAMB friendly MoPars. Usually build more in winter. 2AC94C52-D158-4EB9-A7DE-0963CAED4D6D.jpeg DA8B0997-4B78-49D9-AC78-81CD429033D7.jpeg

    157F8153-217D-447B-86B9-DD74F8B1A0C2.jpeg Planning to build the Henry J as a Hemi Car to recreate a race car I remember from many years ago. Hopefully the fit is pretty good without too much fabrication.

    Also picked up an old kit that I remember from the 80s. I/16 Cobra still in the original shrink wrap. Great kit, haven’t seen a good example of one in years.

    My stalled work in progress. Someone offered this freebee kit so I jumped at it as I dig Johan kits.
    As I walked away he said a few parts may be missing. Yeah, like the drivetrain and the window assembly. I can easily make this a curbside and install any engine and trans. The windows are another story. I'll leave it mat black, add a little foil around the window openings and leave it at that. I'm
    digging the sinister look as it sits now.

    nice. Johan kits are my favorite, I have a bunch of unbuilt ones still and buy when I find a decent price on one.

  18. I was digging through some old boxes looking for something and I found one of the first models I ever built, I was maybe 7 at the time, needless to say I've gotten much better since then, especially with applying decals. :D IMG_20230717_170448042.jpg

    Deuces, I'm digging that Olds Camino. I was hoping to read that it was
    something you put together. By the way, I saw last night on YouTube that
    Round 2 is releasing a '65 El Camino "with Custom Camper".
