    Any Tips for Building With CA?

    I have some resin parts for my build, most notably a 31 piece motor currently soaking in dilute Purple Power, and will be working with CA for the first time. I would like to know what I'm getting into, so I defer to the experts here at SMA... I was going to buy some of the stuff until I...

    Help painting complex body

    I've started working on a Revell Enzo Ferrari and the body consists of quite a few seperate parts. I can glue the nose piece in and tape the trunk/hood in place, but the parts that make up the side scoops are too curvy to pre assemble and spray. Any hints on how to approach this? I'll be using...
