Love the paint on that Chevelle, did you do the trim with BMF?

Hi Minidreams, Love the paint job on your Impala

Hi CT, Really enjoyed the vid and I have to say, Wow… this Alclad II works like magic, I am really impressed with it.

Hi CT, Just got back in the hobby and starting on a Revell 1950 Olds 88 and would like to redo the chrome using Metalizers. What kind would I use for bumpers and hubcaps? Thanks

I finally finished my Tamiya F4U-1 Corsair cockpit (the photo’s not great) but it shows some of the details. Pierre

dkev…what kind of airbrush did you get? Pierre 8)

Gentlemen, I’ve decided to use the Tamiya paints, XF-3 and XF-5 (two to one) with 1/3 Tamiya X-20A thinner following their website’s recommendation. So far I’m quite pleased with the end result. Pierre ;D

I noticed you’re using Tamiya paints, what ratio paint/thinner and at what PSI. Thank you, Pierre

Hi Cruz, love the paint job on the 53 Ford Vic, amazing, but how did you get the glass so clean, unbelievable… :o Pierre

Nice work man... 8) Pierre

Hi JMac, I got some Tamiya paints this afternoon XF-3 and XF-5 as to Tamiya’s instructions; they refer to mixing XF-3 and XF-5 two to one. As for Vallejo paints, I’d have to go to another hobby shop :D. Well I’ll give this mix a try and see how it works out. Thank you, Pierre 8)

Hi JMac, I’ve tried the Vallejo olive green and it looked too dark (to my eye anyway), I’m thinking of trying Tamiya XF-4 (yellow green) see how it comes out. Pierre 8)

Hi Osquitz, I’m told that it’s an excellent kit, I haven’t opened mine yet… ;D your build is looking good so far, keep up the good work. Pierre 8)

Hi liquorboxracing, a restored version would probably be easier to build, I could simply match the color so it’s close enough. Pierre 8)

Hi Chris S and Dusky, I’ve looked at some reference photos in Aero Detail 25 and the cockpit looks like an olive green, and XF-4 in very close to that, although a drop of flat green might get it closer. This is my first kit in decades, so my goal here is to build a good representation of an...

I’d like to know what the “proper” shade of cockpit green is appropriate for the F4U-1 Bird Cage Corsair? In Tamiya’s instructions they refer to mixing XF-3 and XF-5 two to one, it also refers to XF-4 (yellow green) in the paint list. I’ve tried XF-71 (as suggested in a tutorial) but...

Nice photos, here’s a few color combos I’m considering: Black / Red, Yellow / Black, Sliver / Black. But I’m still puzzled about the under-frame color; the instructions seem to indicate that it would be the same as the body color. Do you have any ideas on that? Pierre 8)

Hi liquorboxracing, I’ve been searching the net and found lots of photos mostly in “classic” color combos, the hard part is deciding which one. I also thought about building it as a tuner, then anything goes. Any ideas? Pierre 8)
