Paul, how can it not be good with all them great cars and hot chicks!

Mike, you have a good eye for the fashion scenery...no rally scene is complete without the "pep squad!"

Here’s the finished decaling for both the AAF tanker, and the REA cab. Just have to do some small detail painting, and assembly.

Looking very good Artie. Hope to see it done soon

Thanks, Lee, will do!

A straight load of 6 x 8 Creosote ties arrives at the "Charles Street Yard to begin the tie replacement project...the "Pete" driver points to the traffic jam on Charles Street and explains why he's late with the delivery, or was there another reason...???

And is that a “helper” sitting on the back of the Peterbilt?

Artie, great looking job on the decals!

Paul, wonderful photo of the guys at work trying to get things ready for the Tie replacement job at hand!  Artie, that's not a helper sitting there, thats the motivation to hurry up and get the job done so they can go have a drink and meet some of her other girlfriends!

I know its not an Auto or Truck, but I finished building my Piper Cherokee plane and didn't like the white so I painted it red!

I wish I would have known that CA Accelerator would cause the plastic glass to fog things would have turned out better! I got a little ahead of myself in a hurry to get it mounted I forgot to put the decals on. Just another to do project! LOL As you can see I had the same problem with the glass on the helicopter!

Thanks, Mike. The piper and helicopter look good! By the way, you can glue those clear window parts with canopy glue, made just for that purpose.

Mike- it looks like (to me) your airplane may move along that groove. If so, please post a video! JohnA

Sometimes it fogs, other times it doesn't - no way to tell for sure that I know of.

In the future, you can try coating the windows with a clear acrylic like Future Floor polish before applying the accelerator.

At this point you can try rubbing the window with some gritty toothpaste or plastic cleaner/polish (like Meguiar's) and apply with a cotton swab to the windows; let dry and rub off with another swab. Might take a few applications. When you've got it as good as you're going to get it, apply a thin coat of vegetable oil on the window and leave.

Hi Richie, thanks for all the information, the  problem is I would have to cut it open to get to the inside. That being said they will stay as is, but will do better on the next one! LOL

Thanks Lee, I have seen that before, but it is way better then mine ever will be! But then again the only thing I bought was the model plane!

Artie...administrative assistant and keeper of the the fuel logs...

For those breathlessly waiting- here’s the finished AAF tanker being delivered to Area 51! Soon to follow will be an REA tractor to be delivered to Lionelville.
