georgeusa Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 No I'm not .. I like building them out of the box . I like to keep it stress free and fun to do . But thank you Rick Have you noticed this is nowhere near out of the box; maybe outside of the box due to the great scratch building, but not OOB! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Looks those primers work quite well! And, from the photos, the kit doesn't seem to have many glitches to fix before the paint is applied. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infofrog Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 The front doors , do not fit .. This is going be my down fall on this kit .. I was hoping to have it in primer this weekend . I don't think so . Those doors are going suck . Rick Those primers are for airbrush ready . I'm using the black primer to brush on , So I can see rough area . This primer dries fast The self leveling agent in these primers are not good for filling . I have Tamiya brush primer for filling heavy scratches . But takes hours to set up . Thats the down fall . But its good primer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgeusa Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I'm sure you will be able to get the doors to fit. I have confidence that a simple door will not defeat you. I also hate waiting for primers,paints and putties to dry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infofrog Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Today I notice out of the blue my build has round hole on right side from factory . Not sure what its for , maybe a different model build . I checked my reference photos, there is not panel with this round cut hole . Now I'm in process of filling the hole . Enjoy Rick Reference photo Here is photo with some photo etch at the wing . I brushed some primer on to set for problem areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Just let the putty set and glue set for a day. That way everything will be in a set place and you will know where to go from there. You won't screw it up, I have confidence in you. Just take your time with it. I will take a look at your Humvee now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
