I cut it about 20% with medium reducer and use an Iwata Airbrush with a .3 tip. The Hot Rod has two wet coats on it.Do you have to thin it any?
Thanks Mike.Top Shelf work for sure. Your projects always inspire me to go further with my own work.
What psig are you spraying the UC with ?
I use both .5 Revolution and a .3 hp-ch Hi Line usually around #25 also a hp-th .5 which is like having a Jolly Green giant size gun on a regular car but a bigger clean up job than the regular ab's.
I'm trying to wrap my head around a .3 and only 20% reduction with UC....
I Mix UC 1:1:1 with the .5 and it's still thicker than a 1:1.5 base paint.
Appreciate your expertise and work.
1/64 is a tough scale not to bury all detail, you’ve done a great job. I’m working on a 1/12 Porsche 917K as we speak. Plan on doing it in the Gulf livery.Interesting Interesting.
I have some to clear today and will experiment with it.
I do 1/64th slot car body's as my medium by accident.
I kinda prefer a little extra build which after fully cured,seems to help hold everything together in the event the owner decides to let the kids or g'kids race one. LOL..
Your correct in build aspect. I'm not loosing definition per say but you get the "encapsulated" look for sure. These molded body's aren't exactly meticulously detailed anyway so I just dress them up.
I will do a Reducer flow coat often times for appearance. Only so much cut & buff possible on these.
Appreciate your time and knowledge.
Some of my cars.
Thank you.
I use a dremel tool with the cloth polishing wheel.How do you polish something like this?
The kit does come with decals but I painted the meatballs and stripes, much better result that way. I use Gravity colors out of Spain for the bases. Very accurate color matches and sold in 2oz bottles.I knew this would be Excellent and it IS!
So glad you put it up here after completion.
I guess Seinfeld still owns the Real one ?
Maybe ask Jerry for a Trade explaining how much Easier this is to take care of....
Do these kits come with the Decals as well?
Is there a specific Paint vendor you use for the models Factory colors?
Exceptional work and Patience!
