Hello all. Hopefully someone still browses this category.  I'm working on Monogram's 1/8 1985 Corvette and need some advice on gluing in the windshield and hatch glass.  This is thick plastic and they don't fit perfectly.  What adhesives work best in this situation, not wanting to fog the clear plastic using CA.  Any input is appreciated.    ..read more

My modeling interest is limited to jets, but I have been doing a lot of reading and watching on F1. I am now particularly eyeing this kit:   http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10199437   I plan to build the above kit all closed (no exposed engines or brake discs etc.).     I have collected quite a bit of WIP blogs and pictures of the real thing and finished models. But, I really have no clue what aspects of car / F1 modeling are different than say jet modeling (I've never built armor either). In the world of F1 kits, is the above kit well regarded and is it an easy kit to build ..read more
