How do you know what paint to use on my model

[STARMAKER.REBEL]

Huh? Why would she say that? What does the military or the Dept. of Defense has to do with anything you're building /painting it your way? Just follow the instruction guide and choose whatever option you want. If you want to paint it pink and purple, have at it.

I have to admit that now because I'm not doing this for the Department of Defense and am only doing it for fun I have lots less anxiety.

EDIT:: I ended up painting the windows of the JLTV black and cemented the doors shut because I couldn't figure out how the dashboard fit. NOw I have a problem with the air filter intake on the JLTV fits on the body, but because i'm not trying to wow anyone I have WAY less anxiety.

This is my model change... the tan is my invention.

New Tan vs. Old Green

This was supposed to be a new camouflage for the M1278. Instead I spent tons of money on a 'I love Kit' model that has terrible instructions. I had to resort to finding videos of people building them. (My intake and fender might actually be wrong. Now I see from the videos I might have used the hood placement against the fender for locating the rear part of the front fender on that side. I hope I got it right. I then ran into this.... C31... how is it supposed to fit? Should I try and find a better model with batter instruction manual?

OK… I'm at a loss with your statement.

It's clearly shows how and where it's suppose to go…. in that slot where the arrow points to it. I don't understand how you can't see it.

I don't think it's the instruction guide is terrible as you say it is. I honestly believe you're having a hard time how to read the instruction guide and comprehend how & where parts suppose to go. Everything is right in front of you. Look at the picture, look at the cab you've assembled. It's like reading a blueprint. It's not rocket science.

Looking at scalemates, I found a similar instruction guide. I'm guessing you're on step 16.

Look at the cab you assembled. Do you see Part C31? Good. It goes on the LEFT SIDE FRONT !!!

You should see a small slot hole there. Do you see it????? Glue it there as shown on the instruction guide!!

It's not a terrible kit. You're simply losing focus and confused. I believe you're having a hard time understanding and comprehending how to build the kit.

I found the instruction guide on scalemates. It's not all that hard at all.

I watched a video and found out how to put the intake on. It's twisted around in the instructions and is shown backwards.

Post the video link…

So what….

So what….

You're such a clown , kid

 

[urumomo]

Here's what " sheepboy " just sent me :
Go fuck yourself you arrogant narcissistic asshole. Nobody likes you here (except for Pantherman and Baron - both liberal FSM members). Frankly, everybody is annoyed by your petty bullshit comments. Go build a model and post progress builds for a change instead of posting snide remarks to members here.

 

[BlackSheepTwoOneFour]

Wow… looking for sympathy? Can't handle the truth of how you really are here? Yeah… you come off like apple pie to new members but there's a side of you nobody knows.

Kid? I'm older than you think. So, yeah… I am the Black Sheep and will defend myself from the likes of you and your rude comments.

 

[urumomo]

such a clown .
pull up your diaper , kid

 

[urumomo]

All you had to say was , " ah , yeah , the right side , not the left , my mistake . "
but you're too much of a sad boy , aren't you ?

Do you enjoy finding faults with everything? Do you even understand what a PM is? Not sure what you're trying to achieve by posting a PRIVATE message between us, yet you felt the need to post it in a public forum for all to see. Not sure what you're trying to accomplish. Do you have low self esteem that you felt the need to post it?

Be careful…. there are members here that are from other forums I belong to. They know me better than you as a forum member. Some have been given a heads up about you.

So yeah… you've been reported as well. Back atcha…..

I'm done mucking up this thread further because of your recent rude response. It was uncalled for.

 

[urumomo]

LOL
I don't report people , Karen .
That's you .
You're a whiney , titty baby .

Oh , no .
People on the internet might come across me ???
Holy chit !

You told people about me ?
thanks for the free advertising , child .

Funny and seriously pathetic simultaneously
