I made kinda a road trip last week, hadn't been to Model Empire in over a year. Its 40 min or so from me, I used to work in cooney right off I 94 that was 30 min. Ill shoot the frame in ford blue an post a pic to see if its cool. I work in Beaver Dam, and they do have a LHS but it isn't much help. its funny there are stores in town that cary pactra hobby paints, and i think even tamia.if it won't work Im going to check our Ace, they may have Testors .
