Not sure how available they are but if you can find some of the old hawk or revell kits from the 60s that have been repackage those would be a good one day project.

Just walked into my local Hobby Town and they are now carrying this line of paints. Don't know anything about them. Are they airbrush ready out of the bottle or need to be thinned. If thinned will regular lacquer thinner work or do I have to use their brand? If you've used them, what's your opinion.
Thanks,

The big question I'm having is the paint in 1965 metallic or just solid blue. Can't find any period color photos. When I do a google search alot of cobras come up but most are current photos so no idea if the cars have been repainted or not.

Trying to figure out if the blue on Cobras was metallic paint or just a straight paint. Tried photo searches but to many photos are either restored or kit cars. Even doing searches for period race photos doesn't help. Not sure which way to go.

Trying to find somewhere to buy 1/24 scale fittings, anyone have recommendations?

I tried the Guardsman Blue Metallic from MCW but it's to light for Shelby's. The paint is listed under a Ford 1965 color so that's probably correct for a Ford but apparently Shelby had their own mix but with the same name. For those who have built Shelby Cobra kits, what blue did you use?
Thanks,

Thanks Gary,
Photos did help with some of the questions I had.

Working on Monograms 427 Cobra kit and using Studio 27 decals. The decals for the car I'm doing has a full windshield. The instructions show a rear license plate installed, that doesn't seem right to me. Also trying to figure out if the windshield wipers were installed. Tried doing an internet search but nothing came up. Wondering is someone has a book with photos from the 1966 season.

Need to replace a couple old decals on Monograms X-15 kit. Found a source for the placards and stenciling but the US Air Force fonts are to small. Trying to find a sheet of white 45 letters 5/32" tall. Might be able to use 3/16" letters. I have Squadrons 45 degree white letters but they are the wrong size. Same with the other sheets I've got. Anyone know of a sheet with letters the height I need?
Thanks,
Eric

Thanks all. Looking over the kit instructions trying to figure out the best way to paint the kit. Might become a fall / winter project.

Thinking about building a Fine Molds X-Wing in my stash. Looking at the color call outs in the instructions and the main body they give as an FS number. When I check the number on charts it comes up as a medium gray. To me looking at photos it looks like it should be more of an off white. Anyone have their take on what color it should be.

Hi Dig,
Glad you enjoyed the Madcity show. When you say southern Wisconsin, how far south, I'm in Beloit.

I stumbled across the site that sold that and other disc world figures but can't find it now. Do you have the makers web site?

If you can support the pieces to allow for drying time either white glue or testor's clear parts cement should work.

Mike,
I went thru the membership system check up. It shows the my renewal is pass due. I sent the check on Nov 7 and it was cashed. So not exactly sure why my membership show pass due. Just want to know if once it gets straightened out I will still get Nov / Dec issue of the Journal.
Thanks,
Eric

Me too. Sent in my renewal payment beginning of Nov. and haven't received anything either. I know that my check had been deposited.

Ryan,

Don't live in the area anymore but I know that last month they met at Game Kastle in San Jose on the 3rd Thursday. Spoke with my brother who reserves the room at the MPD and he said the first available date was in Sept. for the 3rd Friday.

There is Silicon Valley Scale Modelers in San Jose and Fremont Hornets in Fremont. Not sure of their meeting schedules right now, the last time I looked at the SVSM facebook page it hadn't been updated since last year.

Just finished this figure from George Stamov. It's the Death character from Terry Pratchett's book Reaper Man. Figure is approximately 90mm. I hope to add some stalks to the ground cover that looks like it was harvested if I can find something that looks right.
