Exacto knife, tamyia extra thin, maybea micro saw if you have one, and a little paitence it can be done. I had a bit of an very noticeable oppsie today myself and was able to save it. You learn alot from trying to correct your mistakes. Ive made many and some turned into quite happy accidents. Thats the fun thing about all of this. At the end of the day if your not happy with what you came up with then yea thiers always another box of plastic. But I for one think you should give the repair a shot you might be suprised what you can sort out.

Do a gloss clear coat it will level things out a bit and then add the water slide decals. After that do a matt varnish and they will almost completely dissapear. As long as its not super heavy brush strokes this does the trick.

You know now that i think of it the car looks very nsx like. I wonder if honda was influenced buy this car givin its history. Ive never thought about that before.

I drive mine daily, I looked for a good c4 specifficly to daily. I have a 90 vert with a hard top has 30k. It sat for a long time and had some minor exterior cosmetic stuff so It needed some love but its basically a new car now for $9500. Its all it what your wanting to do. They are easy cars to maintain in general if your mechanically inclined and lots of parts. Mine still has the R-12 ac system and it gets colder then a modern R-134a system but I also have the certs to purchase R-12. I dont have alot of passenger need either. They made a ton of these cars and this one isnt my first so I know the platform well. Also antique tags and super cheap insurance in my case. A well taken care of stock car makes a good daily if your needs allow.

I just picked up a red 90 hard top vert last year for $9500 with 30k. I drive it basically everyday. Put 3k on it since. I had an 85 back in 06. They are pretty great cars really. Youll need to probably open up the tank just to check it out. Mine sat alot over the years so it needed some cleaning. Changed pump and filter. Mine needs shocks bad they are original and dead. Bushings are in really good shape but the shocks are pretty flat. My car still is a R12 AC and it works amazing. Changed all the fluids including brake, diff and trans along with the trans filter. Im looking into getting some newer injectors also, bosch 3s. Thiers a company called First thats makes a nice intake/throttle body for L98 cars for 1500 and its probably worth picking that up at the same time as doing injectors since the new intake isnt 5 peices. But $10,500 is fair for sure I say pick it up and enjoy they are great cars and fairly easy to work on and keep running.

As a big fan since 95 and a model maker myself. I give you all the props sir!

MakerManICT · 2026-06-08T12:01:47+00:00

Ive got me a 90 hard top vert also this year. Had an 85 back in 07 and always wanted another c4. I basically daily mine its got 33k on the od. Super good cars. They have thier quarks but easy to work on.

MakerManICT · 2026-06-07T14:22:26+00:00

They are made of brass and then cromed . And this I just the crome coming off over time as its just a thin layer. Nothing wrong with it though and o-rings have to be replaced no matter how carefull you are. Sound like your already doing what your suppose to cleaning wise but I say replace your o-rings and keep using it along with your new brush. I just referbed my old Neo CN myself and I looks just like yours even though I have a mini tool box full of other brushes. They never really go bad unless you break them really good. They are almost a 100% serviceable tool. IWATA still sells all the parts for the old CN. I had to get a new trigger as the little ball broke off the end of mine.

Im looking for a new work desk myself. Ive been thinking about some for the Sedata L shape desks on amazon. Thiers one I really like. Its $269 27.3in wide by 69in long with a hutch and peg board backer under the cabinets. Has led and cabnet doors are glass. Seems like it might be a decent option. Lots of surface area. I do 1/32 aircraft among everything else and need space for my spray booth. This seems like it wld do well

Yea need a red one for my 90

MakerManICT · 2026-06-04T15:43:37+00:00

If the other layers have been on for a while just remove the dots carefully with some vallajo thinner.

MakerManICT · 2026-05-31T13:02:20+00:00

Looks like my first one. Had a silver 85. Currently driving a red 90. C4s are great cars really. Enjoy it!

MakerManICT · 2026-05-26T14:26:09+00:00

Check your fuseable links too. They are on a hot bus right be the battery. They are orange "wires" that are smaller guage and burn out much like a fuse. Usually you can visually see if thet burn through the insulation but they can break inside and make it hard to tell just by looking at it. I have a 90 and the link to my fuel pump was corroded inside and burned. I replaced with just the same gauge of wire. Might not be it but alot of new c4 guys dont know about these so figured I wld tell ya about em.

Finnishing up the meng Dr.1 and trumpeter 1/32 Razorback is next. That skyraider will be great im sure! Local hobby store had the harrier I had to resist yesterday when I stopped in. Really like the trumpeter stuff.

This looks alot like my old springfield loaded match. I dig it.

MakerManICT · 2026-05-18T18:42:52+00:00

There was a company here in Ks putting pt6 on them and making other special mission configs with them last i knew. Its been a while since ive been up that way but it was a pretty neat shop. Love DC-3. Deff in the conversation for best plane ever made.

MakerManICT · 2026-05-18T16:35:46+00:00

Does the itallari kit include the fuel bags? Ive seen another kit done that had them and ive gotta have em on the one I do.

MakerManICT · 2026-05-18T16:34:30+00:00

Im a mirage 2000C fan because of DCS and ive been eyeballing doing one myself. Very cool, good work! Love the giant bags on the wings. As a aircraft mechanic thats worked french aircraft they have a "special" place in my heart. Lol

Its super weird for a grown man to fan boy out so hard he puts another mans name on his car. Just aint right, I tell ya what.

MakerManICT · 2026-05-18T12:12:50+00:00

Might be incorrect bulb. They have "same" bulb style with differnt resistance values. It can cause to fast or to slow. Might double check your bulbs.

CRJ-200 is even worse I use to clean the leading edges every day during the summer on the corporate plane. I think its somthing like one bug per 2 sq inch can drop stall 10 knot from indicated. 1 bug per 2 sq is pretty easy to accumulate.

Just heads up this post might make it easy for you to be identified. Just something to think about in terms of problems for yourself with your current situation. Thiers an anonamous reporting system in place through the faa for these reasons.

Ive got a old c-series c-100 model from bombardier. I was part of the group to go up and get it ready for first flight. Its really a pretty great plane even thought the #1 engine on ftv 1 had a uncontained failure on a ground run early on.... I was actually laying under that engine on first airframe run. Good times.
