TOPIC:

Today saw the arrival of a very gently used TC3 Nitro (with my wheels on it already) and a Attack vehicle which in my case won't be attacking anything but be more of a really cool orangy beach goer. LOL

The fav is very fun to build and drive. But on my rere, I had to put a skid under the gearbox.

My first hycote spray arrived this evening. I could begin my son's and step daughter 's birthday gift. A revell mustang gt350H. 🤗
I remind that someone here used hycote with good results.

It's (mostly) my aerosol of choice, the exceptions being their clear, which is very aggressive & tends to melt what's gone on before, and their Satin Black which requires far more shaking than anyone would reasonably expect (and multiple coats) to avoid a "meh" grey finish. 

I was sure it was you Jonny. First attempt with gloss black is not what expected.... it's like verniculed paint granular with first coat and no shiny. 

I have had results like this from "cold" paint. I always make sure the can is reasonable hot, like 80 or 90 F and the lay of the paint and gloss are beautiful...

 

Me to and petroleum effects when the weather was too cold but here the paint was applied with around 25°C.

Very interesting Flo.... I have had some success salvaging a model in this way by hitting it with a very thin coat or two of high gloss clear coat by Testors.....

Fingers crossed!

Just in time for the weekend Postie brought me a mix of consumables & bling;
100 off 5x11x4 RS from RCBearings
200 2mm E clips
A mix of purple & black alloy hexes from Ibex and a pair of CRP scorcher rims

Bloom from high humidity, or surface contamination? Mould release etc?
