[@DougD-j2h]

Hi Hobby Dude, I need some input from your group of friends. I have a monogram 1/24 scale little coffin show rod. It’s molded in red with white accent. I want to prime and paint it black but I am having a debate as to what to use as an accent? colour, I think a dark grey almost like German grey from Tamiya? I would be thrilled with thoughts on what to do with this project. I also don’t really care for the wheel rims that came with it. I think that a nice wire wheel rim would look better. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and ideas on this. Thanks, Doug.

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Thanks Doug!! First of all, great kit! Always loved the Lil Coffin. My personal favorite accents with a hi-gloss black is a medium to dark red (ox-blood). Gold also looks pretty cool but the reds are my personal first choice. I agree, a cool set of wires would look pretty sharp! I’d check out some of the 3D wheel/tire printers on line. Look forward to seeing it!! Have fun!

[@AEDominguez4444]

What are the dates for next year?

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Thanks buddy!!

[@crisslastname9417]

Last May, I ordered a subscription to Model car Magazine for a friend of mine. He never received a single issue. After many emails and a voice mail for Gregg, I have gotten no reply. I even requested a refund. Nothing. So, based on my experience, I cannot recommend this magazine to anyone. Just an FYI guys.

[@MarkBatsonHobbydude007]

Sorry to hear that brother. I subbed years ago and have never had a problem. I would keep trying to get it resolved.
