Vince Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Use it at your peril. I've switched to Mr. Hobby. good for you Quote
Skull-1 Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 good for you And the point of your little quip was what again? There are PLENTY of articles on the internet about the yellowing properties of the Testors product. Anyone who doubts me should do some research before the potential ruination of a very expensive Valkyrie is undertaken. Quote

I've messed up many time before I figured out heavy lacquer clear will turn yellow every time, especially bad over enamel. I've been using Gunze for almost 30 years, they are absolutely the best.

No problem. Thought you were getting chippy and I couldn't figure out what happened. Now that I re-read your comment I realize I read it 180 degrees out of phase. SORRY! Quote

GOOD JOB! I can't wait to see some updated pics when you are finished. Also....did you see the pics of the 1A after I finished it? Does'nt look so bad now does it? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 I meant dullcoat as a generic term referring to any flat clear finish. Not specifically Testor's Dullcote™ (which is yellow when it's in the can/bottle--I doubt it turns clear as it ages) Quote

Not specifically Testor's Dullcote™ (which is yellow when it's in the can/bottle--I doubt it turns clear as it ages) Alot of the people here are really having a problem with Testors Dull Coat eh?!? I just used it on my 1/48 1A and my 1/48 Super/Strike parts. There has been some defense from some saying that they used the product for years and upon many years later the white is still white. My valks are NEVER in sunlight. Do some of you honestly believe that my 1A will yellow over time? I guess about 5-10 years down the road I should take some pics of the 1A and post them so that I may have proof that some of you are wrong or proof that I was wrong. We will see I guess. Quote
misterryno Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 your 1a did look good frnd an update : heavy damage on the leg THANKS BTW.....that damaged leg looks really awesome. Quote
brannon Posted June 7, 2008 Posted June 7, 2008 don't forget the tail fin or would that be to much? Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 (edited) That looks fanastic Ghostkiller. Did you happen to put any blood stains in the cockpit? On Roy? Still working on this... Edited June 8, 2008 by nightmareB4macross Quote
dizman Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Silly NMB4M, you can't have a 2 seater 1/48, ITS IMPOSSIBLE (according to yamato anyways)! All bad jokes aside that looks fantastic, can't wait to see pictures of it completed. Quote
Ghostkiller Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 asking for blood pls don't cry !!!! my frnd gave me a really first edition of yamato so the canopy does not stay up .... I had to put roy Quote
misterryno Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 That looks fanastic Ghostkiller. Did you happen to put any blood stains in the cockpit? On Roy? Still working on this... Ohhhh baby oh baby....I am sooooooo waiting for you to finish this MASTERPIECE! It looks terrific mate. Quote
misterryno Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 asking for blood pls don't cry !!!! my frnd gave me a really first edition of yamato so the canopy does not stay up .... I had to put roy I like the blood. Even in the range of the right area.....GREAT JOB! Quote

Not specifically Testor's Dullcote™ (which is yellow when it's in the can/bottle--I doubt it turns clear as it ages) I think all Dulls probably yellow some with age, however, Testors' product absolutely does. So if anyone uses Testors they're asking for trouble was my point. Quote

So if anyone uses Testors they're asking for trouble was my point. Sooooooo......when Ron said this..... I sprayed an X-wing fighter and Millennium Falcon with Testor Dullcote 15 years ago and the the white parts are still white. I have a few valks that I sprayed with the Dullcote at least 2 years ago and the white parts are still white. You are saying that he is lying? I mean....what does this awesome custom specialist have to gain by giving false information? Can you suggest another type of Dull coat spray that I could find easily? Quote
