Hooray Robi's back. Paintwork looks great, polished out really nice.

I know that some people are having troubles with Revell's plastic in there new releases with it reacting with even mild paints. Apparently it is caused by the plastic, I think they are using a new formula and this is causing the problems. Haven't heard anything negative about Fujimi's or Tamiya's plastic yet.

Mike.

Great looking finish, Robi

Nice to see you posting again!

Robi,
Nice to see you back! I hope all is well.
Did you thin the decanted Tamiya paint? If you did, I would say that the thinner was too hot. That happens sometimes with lacquers and causes etching?
You have done a great job polishing the body anyway. It looks really smooth!

Great paint job. As said before, white is just a lovely color to play with. Nice Depth on the color btw.

Nice to see you back Robi! I have been waiting in hopes for your return. Have you by chance seen the wonderful luck I have had with mine?! I now hate the f430!! LOL Not really, but I am about there.

Guys, thank you for the welcome-back messages, really touching. Thanks !

Mike (I think they are using a new formula and this is causing the problems. Haven't heard anything negative about Fujimi's or Tamiya's plastic yet) > The same opinion, Mike. Fujimi is doing the same, my friend Alessandro had the same troubles on his F430 Option and Challenge too, I got the Cayman last week and apparently seems the same poor, or at least critical, plastic quality. I also think Tamiya is changing his TS formula, probably due to new restrictions. Anyone knows?

robrex (Did you thin the decanted Tamiya paint?) > No Rob, I did not, just to avoid the problems you’re explaining !

bai (is there any update on your engine modification?) > Not at the moment, I’m slowly working on the F430, sorry.

Enzoenvy1 (Have you by chance seen the wonderful luck I have had with mine?!) > Yes man, you’re crazy ! I damaged the final color with my motortool but I did not re-paint the whole car, just retouched the body with the same color applied with a brush and then sanded and polished, btw what a patient you have !!!

That’s all for the moment, bye ! R
