Off to a great start! I see you got two Civics, and an Integra.. also a decal maker set from Testors.

Yes I really have 8 Civics 7 unfinished and 5 Integras 5 unfinished a friend of mine had a shop and he closed up and sold me 13 models for like 25 bucks .. They are all Revell not bad models I like them.. I am doing replicas for people I know with EK9 hatches ..

Here it is after 3 coats of Red and 2 coats of clear

Off to a great start!! :)

Well my great start ended when I was painting the window lines and my tape did not work as it should have and the black paint went into the red making it look like shat.. So I through it into a bucket of CSC and am now waiting for it to get done . That stuff works great . I no sooner tossed it in and I could see the stuff working ..

More to come. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Here it is after 2 hrs in CSC ready to prime again..

Yes testors paint and clear..

man i wish we had csc in australia. for the past 2 days I've been trying different stuff ranging from Mr Muscle oven cleaner to Methilated Spirits. While the metho works with a shtload of scrubbing, I just can't be bothered anymore, ugh.

Will terpentine work to strip the model as well?? or just melt the plastic?

I use some easy-off oven cleaner, or brake fluid, both usually work.

interesting... i'll try that the next time I have to strip the paint, hehe :lol2:
