  1. got this from Dave at MCW this morning. Blue Fire Met. is number 6960 and Charger Red is the same color as number 6861 Bright Red.
  2. I need a little help for a 1969 and 1970 Dodge and Plymouth colors. The MCW site list colors with their own color numbers but these do not match 1 for 1 with OEM codes. What I'm looking for is 1969 Chr code DT3334 or car code R4. The 1970 Plymouth Chr code is DT8459 or car code EB5 Blue Fire Met. Hemi Orange code was DT5165 or car code V2. Not sure if the 440 Mag engine used Hemi Orange or a standard red. My memory of the engines at that time is not good but seems to me they were red. Can anyone please help?
  3. You may want to order as much as you can while you can while supplies last.
  4. Yes as I said in my first post almost all my builds are 350 scale, and all I use is the bug.
  5. I use the bug and the small shop rolling tools. Best investment you can make for serious building. Most of my builds are ships in the 350 scale, the bug works great for that. But if your into larger scales get the bigger set like Pete said.
  6. Hey John I think we talked about a Canberra I saw while deployed last year. Sorry I never got any pictures for you, she would slip in and out unannounced. It was great seeing the old gal flying, amazing how long this plane has been in service. Good luck on your build, look forward to your post.
  7. I'm not a fan of acrylics, even though some that are sold as such are not. (TAM) I too am glad MM is still enamel and hope they continue to be. I think one problem along with WEM and others is the export problem. I read where some of the WEM paints were confiscated by customs causing problems with supplies at one USA dealer.
  8. From John at WEM "Speaking of paint, this from Testors today: "Weve made the decision to exit the following businesses within the Testor® Brand family - Pactra®, Floquil®, Polyscale®, and ColorArtz®. This will enable the Testor Corporation to return to our foundation of success providing premium, innovative product that inspires creativity. We will continue to accept orders and ship product for a limited time based on available quantities. "
  9. Why do you say Dragon is going out of ships?
  10. I was looking at the Testors paints and would like to know if Sand or Gulf War Tan would be best for Iraq/Afhanistan war? The picture I saw of GW Tan looked a bit dark, but maybe it's the computer screen. MODS could you please move this over to the Armor section?
  11. Last I heard (three weeks ago) it was on indefinite hold. Note Brandon has removed the pre-sale order for the kit at Freetime Hobbies. But what would I know after being banished for going to the dark side :(
  12. figures, on sale after I already bought. The Kinetic kit came today, looks pretty good from the first look. Minor PE set and a few decals, but the part count is way more than I expected for a kit like this. The last time I did anything like it was a British QUAD Gun Tractor from Tam with the 25pd gun in tow. Not nearly as detailed or big as this one. I ordered the resin wheels from Blast which should be a big improvement over the rubber tires. I also ordered the CROWS II from Blast but the Kinetic kit has option for a 50 or SAW in the turret so I may end up getting a Panda kit and using the CROWS on that one. This armor stuff can be as bad as ships causing a person to drop deep into the abyss of wallet depletion.
  13. Hey Robin, saw the Kinetic on ebay so I ordered that version. Reviews said it came with the radios and other gear for the inside where as Panda did not. Thanks for the tip.
  14. Thanks Mike, figured it out after going over the website. Order placed today.
  15. I wanted to order parts from Blast Models of France but they only sell to EU. Anyone know a dealer here or know where I can place an order for the USA?
  16. Dragon has released the Mercury Redstone and now Saturn Apollo 11 in 1/72 scale. Now I'm hoping they will follow up with the Mercury Atlas and Gemini Titan. How cool would that be????
  17. Eric Thanks for the tip on MCW, they seem to have what I'm after.
  18. I know many of you use OEM paint on your cars, question is do you use an airbrush and if so what thinner do you use with the brand of paint?
  19. Thanks will try that next.
  20. What would be the correct hull red for this ship?
  21. Thanks for the info, with a CROWS II mount Kinetic could be a good kit to work with. I don't think anyone makes the net armor, have you seen that anywhere?
  22. Anyone have this kit or have built one, would you recommend it or not? Thanks
  23. James, how is the SLA mast working out?
