    '64 Honda S600 - Tamiya

    It might look a bit out of place with Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn, since they only made one film "Charade". And that was set in the winter, 1960s France, and featured mostly French marque sedans. The s600 Cabriolet has appeared mainly in Japanese films of the sixties and none with Cary Grant...

    bubbles in paint

    Shaking paint introduces air (and bubbles) into paint, thats why it is never recommended with clears. (spray bomb clear has such a small amount of paint in the can and a diffusing nozzle, that shaking isn't a problem) I would think with something as thick as testor's enamels, shaking can easily...

    AMT kits, trash or stash?

    That Bulldozer is an old classic. Have no clue why they dropped the original box art tho. (I guess some people want to see the actual model) Not my thing, I built Hot Rods, but I can remember seeing this kit (w/ old box art) on shelves. Who cares how bad old AMT kits were? They're classics...

    Canadian ban on Tamiya spray paints?

    I'm aware the ban discussion relates to Tamiya SPRAY paints, thats why I specifically said "...there was also a large selection of assorted Tamiya spray paints. I saw clears, primers and colours." Related: I checked out the online supplier I use, Sunward Hobbies, who are based here in southern...

    Canadian ban on Tamiya spray paints?

    First time seeing this discussion and by coincidence, I visited two hobby stores on Tuesday. Stores that I have never been to before. I'm in southern Ontario (Canada). Both stores had extensive selections of Tamiya paints. I even stopped to check the prices of the bottles (in both stores)...

    P-47D 1:48 Lt Augustus Hamilton

    Wow, some nice underpainting! But the green in the last two photos changes drastically. I like the darker green in photo 4 but the lighter green (#5) is not correct. Also, the underside gray did not reach that high on the fuselage. You have it above the wing, when it should align with the wing...

    To shake, or not to shake, that is the question:

    stirred. not shaken.

    P-47 Thunderbolt research help

    I met SuperDave Osborne back in the late 80s at show tapings. (I can actually be seen in the audience of a couple of TV episodes!) He gave me this large metal pinback badge that features a sketch of him as he ended up in one of his old stunt clips*. (*Stunt - Youtube "Super Dave - Balloon Ball")...

    P-51 Funny Car

    After reading the title of this thread, I was really hoping to see a North American P-51 Mustang inspired hot rod! P-51 being one of my favorite WW2 fighters. Instead, I see Shirley Muldowney's car that I saw race back in the day. Very nice indeedy. I'm guessing you meant to say "Mach 1"...

    What was your car growing up (high school car)

    (1976) At 16, my girlfriend and I bought a 1972 Ford Capri. Thats the German/UK style Capri with the same 4cyl. that was in a Pinto. Over the next 3 years me and my brother-in-law bought another half dozen Capris and 3 Pintos. I drove daily two Capris, a green '72 and then a yellow '74. I also...

    Rear windows - up or down?

    The elimination of the B pillar was a cool design feature, giving the car a much sleaker line. Whenever possible, those windows were both down! However, not all rear windows rolled down fully. Some just dropped on an angle at the front, and only opened halfway. it looked weird. Especially weird...
