When I upped the storage I increased the individual attachment allotment, I would like to keep it at 1MB per pic and anything beyond that use a Photo sharing service like Fotki.. but it will now be easier to post attachments(pics) that are less than 1MB.. at 1MB our storage will again fill quickly ...Chris

Bill, You're making progress for sure. The Cruze is really starting to look like the race car she is. Nice job on that splitter plate. And Oh yeah, congrats on posting a progress to date picture. It makes a huge difference in following you build.

Bill, Yep, plenty to do in a Beemax interior. Makes the kit well worth the price. Not to mention that there's enough building to keep you engaged for several weeks at a min.
Just wait till you get to the decals. The Cartgraf decals are simply outstanding to say the least.

Bill, I'm a little confused as usual. I don't even see any white paint on the Cruze. I do see Black paint. For full length decals I usually cut them into sections to make alignment that much easier. I did that on my Lotus 72E extensively. Joel

Bill, Just did. I do see all the white now. Still, like I said, you can section the red as needed. Just as long as you align each section so that the base color doesn't show, you're home free & clear. I specialize in the easy way out nearly all of the time.

Joel Thanks for that info. When I finally decide to paint, the Zero brand paint I will be using is pre mixed airbrush ready and flat You had to buy the clear outer coat also to complete the 3 part job. Bad enough I'm a rookie with all thing lacquer, but that also. Bill, I've used some Zero paints, and they're excellent. Like Gravity paints, they're a true auto lacquer as well as the thinning agent. Lacquer primer is a must or the odds of the paint crazing the plastic is pretty good, I also use a paint booth that is vented through a window, and wear a auto painters mask. And yes, the paints are flat so you need to apply a clear Glosscoat for the mile deep finish. Personally, I still use a good old lacquer based Clear Gloss, as I'm very comfortable with it. Today, 2K Urethane's are the gloss of choice. Joel

Bill I've never used T-235 as I prime with either Tamiya Gray or white primer, or Mr. Hobby/Mr. Color #1500 Gray or Black primer. Both are thinned with Mr. Hobby #400 leveling Thinner, then air brushed. The reason is simply that I can control both the pattern and the amount of primer. I guess you can just call me Mr. Cheap-O. But the other benefit is that there is very little rubbing out needed for a smooth surface. I'm not sure how much prep a Rattle Can primer coat would need.
