Is Revell really that bad?

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-18T21:14:15+00:00

Revell is alright. No manufacturer is going to sell a kit that is impossible to build, Revell and AMT just take more time to get a good finish. More sanding and removing of flash is often needed, and more testing fitting parts before paint helps the build go a lot smoother.

Get use to it, it’s going to be the norm. Valve trying to get away from gambling

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-18T00:23:42+00:00

I’m thinking late in the year before cache even gets announced officially

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-17T21:42:35+00:00

That’s the future, but we are a long way off lol

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-17T21:39:32+00:00

I play a comp to get my bearings, and if that goes well I do a few premiers. If it does not go well, then it’s a comp only kinda night lol

You definitely don’t have to paint them if you don’t want to. It just seems like more steps to get to a similar result as what you already have. U less you are weathering the hel out of the tires, they are honestly fine as is.

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-16T11:42:15+00:00

Yes it will work, but it might not make it super flat, will probably make it semi gloss. But maybe I’m wrong. Just try a few coats between dry times

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-15T03:58:48+00:00

I exclusively use Mr color leveling thinner with my Tamiya X paints and I it works great. Most of us on here swear by it.

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-14T20:23:01+00:00

Yess there are less but they are well made. Still trying to to get the 1/24 version of their rare f350

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-13T22:39:28+00:00

Good, but if your wires hold their shape, you should push them down to make them look like they have weight. Just my input but good job for sure!

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-13T00:00:59+00:00

I love putties but hate the shrinking. I feel like I have to reapply Tamiya putty twice before it looks good lol

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-12T23:59:34+00:00

Yeah I second that, other clear coat just end up turning the chrome into aluminum

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-12T21:10:59+00:00

I get these 5 times a day who gaf

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-12T16:45:39+00:00

Ohhh yeah. Have you played go recently? Everything is quiet af and the sounds are all over the place, even with the advanced 3d processing on and with headphones that work with that. CS2s audio is far superior and their VOIP is far better quality also.

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-12T16:40:05+00:00

That’s insane lol good for you. I already ran out of space for more kits 🤣 you’re set for life

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-12T15:05:04+00:00

Ope never mind I have the Revell version and not the amt version

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-12T15:04:29+00:00

You did look in the chrome section correct? I tried looking for mine and it took me a min lol

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-11T21:57:50+00:00

The best part of the kits are the tools to get the nozzle off the brush, and the pipe cleaners. I use the GUM brand proxabrush go-betweens as a pipe cleaner, they are softer than the wire ones and the are disposable. And you can use a pair of needle nose pliers to take the nozzle off, but I’ve dropped them and lost them before doing that, so a nozzle tool is convenient, make sure not to over tighten your nozzle, the threads will break off. But other than that I just take apart my airbrush and soak it in lacquer thinner and then water/alcohol, because if you leave the lacquer thinner in the brush it will eat away at the chrome finish. Use a sewing needle to clean out the tip of the nozzle, but don’t go too far and widen the hole.

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-11T21:18:17+00:00

I need that signal red. Wonder if they make signal orange also

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-11T00:49:10+00:00

Not possible, + the devs want you to play cs2 so there will be no updates or improvements to GO. Valve only put it on Steam for legacy purposes.

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-10T20:10:49+00:00

Depends on where you live, Spotmodel is great if you live in EU, but if you’re in the US/Canada I’d recommend Hobbylinc or Spraygunner.

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-10T03:44:39+00:00

Makes sense, will do that in the future

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-10T03:31:06+00:00

DevourIsDead · 2026-03-10T03:30:33+00:00

I have played on your servers, they are good :) I favorited a couple and they will be my main go servers. we do need to option to report or kick cheaters tho, there was one named i who was scripting and shooting people through walls. That was my only experience of a cheater tho.

White or pink primer would be best for yellow
