I'm trying to change my email over to a Gmail account and I'm not getting the verification email to validate the account. Do you think this is causing the email to not show up in my inbox or spam folder?

This is the Revell kit released years ago. I've been building it for a while and was posting my progress on FSM's forum but that will not function for me anymore. I think this is going to be all straight out of the box but we will see about that. Since I've started I've played around with a few different colors till I'm finally okay. MM True Blue just wasn't cutting it. Gravity Color's Ford Magnetic Gray came out too dark on a coat of black primer. Did a coat of light gray primer with the Magnetic Gray and I th

I always loved using the Model Master enamel paints and they worked extremely well for me. I'm still trying to something that is as easy to work with. Xtracolor and Humbrol would be a close second but Xtra is had to get here and I'm not fond of the little tins for both.

I've had the same problems with signing in over there. Tried clearing out the cache, history and nothing. Click on forgot my password or create a new account and I get the dreaded 404. If they don't want to continue investing into the forum they should just close it up. I also get "Unexpected Error" messages when trying to log in.

I noticed that mask is for the Meng kit. I wonder how close in shape the two kits are.

I never saw the shipping options and almost always chose the cheapest option cause I really don't need it that fast. Maybe it just did an express checkout once I entered the card info? I was able to just cancel the whole order since it didn't ship yet and will try again when I have a little more time. I've been working on a boat to get it out on the water.

I've always found that thin strips of masking tape are flexible and you can hit the curve with a few reference photos. I usually place it till I'm happy with the look. You could also scale out what is on the instruction sheet and use that as a guide also.

Guess I'm just going to chalk this up as glitch and I should be paying even more attention than I usually do.

What kind of info are you looking for?

Expected shipping on a $26 order should be $17? Is that their default shipping cause I don't remember it ever being UPS.

To be honest with you I wasn't even prompted for a type of shipping. I never had high shipping fees from them before. Maybe it had to do with the paint but it never was shown until I went back and checked the order status. I'm waiting to hear back from SB other than the generic response on shipping fees. I havnt touched a thing in a while and figured an order might push me along. Bottom line is that I was never prompted on the shipping.

Anyone experience a surprise while placing an order? I ordered 2 Eduard masks and two 30ml containers of MRP paint and the shipping is $17. WTF, almost half the cost of my order was shipping.

Have you used any of the MCW automotive colors? I was wondering if the metallic flake looks to be in scale for a 1/24-1/25 scale kit.

If they did it would have to be the earlier formulas. I noticed a difference in smell and performance in the years before the line was cut.
