    Hairspray or heavy chipping fluid votes close 11am

    Damm seems a draw was hoping to have someone to blame when it all went wrong. From my experience using them ive only used hair spray on 35th (only once)probably my fault for not using enough but found it hard work to break down ,no way could you have abused a 72nd scale kit to that amount of...

    Like I said John wrong but looks the part remember this one i did for the Simon T memorial They were indy links if I recall bloody horrendous, looking at the quality of the mouldings here(HobbyBoss) compared to what I'm working with now ive a feeling a bit of mud could be on the menu.
