But I’ve had some sets that are just crap and break apart despite clear coats or microscale.

What can you thin microscale with so as to airbrush?

I’m getting little pieces of skin (think tomatoe soup) forming in my paint cup while air brushing. Using badger patriot (gravity fed) at 20 psi I did a 50/50 mix of tutors enamel and testers th ...

Any suggestions?

I can’t believe I can’t figure this out on the google but what car did Ricky Rudd win riverside in when he drove for Bud Moore? Was it the motorcraft or wrangler livery?

The stance is incredible. I am sure that was not easy to achieve. I love pro stocks/pro mods but the revell / monogram chassis befuddle me and I gave up trying.

I wish the heavens above that ...
