  3. Hello there to all car modelers 

     thinking about changing my modeling interest to cars but would like to know before I do how do you car guys and gals deal with the chrome 

     parts on the sprues, once removed there will be a spot or other areas that will need to be cleaned up and will show bare plastic, my questions 

     do you remove/ or strip all the chrome then clean up the imperfections like mold lines etc. and then re-chrome the parts if so which is the best 

     re-chrome paint, case in point the revell T-bucket which has a lot of chrome in the kit  how  to go about building that kit the  right way, I would 

      appreciate any help in that area, P.S. I know Donn Yost is a very car modeler and tried to ask him the same questions but he will help me 

     unless he soo busy that he no time to reply back to me thank you

  4. Hello there 

      I was watching a you tube modeler build a Tamiya 1/48 scale Tomcat and notice he build the engines in two different ways 

         one engine was wide open and the other almost closed since I do not know to much about jets or modeling them  is that 

         the correct way to  model the engines, forgive me for asking  but having the engines look different looks funny If I was 

         modeling a jet I would have the engines the same  accurate or not

  5. Hello fellow models

    I need to know if anyone has built the old aircrafts with raised panel lines such as the 1/48 B24 liberator or Lancaster and if so how do you pre-shade or even paint those aircrafts, I've done several aircrafts in the past but the were recessed panel lines, or should I ask if I should concern my self about panel lines at all I appreciate any suggestions or recommended and ideas thank you

  6. Hello fellow modelers

    I need help here I'm missing the instructions to a set of eduard 1/48 scale photo etch the

    numbers that I found on the fret are as followers AC 18 0200 3000 Vindicator

    seat belts they are for the rare accurate miniature Vindicator I purchased the kit on E-bay

    and it came with a set of mask and a set of photo etch seat belt but no instructions,

    now if no one seems to have any could some one e-mail me some simple instructions

    for installing a basic seat belt or are they all different I would appreciate any information you

    can send my way thank you

  7. Hello there John

    I never said there was anything wrong with the hitch as is but it be really great looking if the hitch would open to accept the 155mm Long Tom cannon dolly, since you seem to be an export on the two kits would you know if there are after market parts for the cannon, I was wondering how come no one has made an after market kit for the hitch part that is all
