Mr Color (lacquer) is OK (just OK) for brush painting but excellent for airbrushing. Mr Hobby (acrylic) is what you want for brush painting. 

Lucky you to be in HK, the best place in the world to get model supplies. Kwong Wa Street is literally heaven. 

My wife was completely exhausted after our (my) last shopping trip there. 😁

Is she exhausted because you make her carry huge bags of models around whilst you browse for more?!:P

No I actually built it a few years ago and over the years just added to it! Shocks, carbon stuff, motor etc etc and I was never keen on the colour combination of the standard but liked the decals themselves so I put MCI decals on it it my colour scheme? Also what I like about the astute/super astute is the gearbox is the planetary type like the avante!

Oh yes of course, there is only so much shopping a man can carry and browse for more at the same time. Women are more evolved to shop.

Got my buggy collection out with my brother since it was bright and dry and got most for at least a gentle spin.

Nice collection.  I am not familiar with the one in the very left (orange wheels)

I was wondering what you were building, but the paper you have in your spray booth gave it away :)

Started applying the stickers on my Alfa Romeo Giulia. It is nerve-wracking job but it has to be done...

Very cool. I ordered those wheels (51021 ?) for my Quattro. May I ask where you got the front wheel covers?

Looks like the "turbofan" from the HPI FIFTEEN52 TURBOMAC wheel.

That’s a Terra Conqueror- a manta ray with hop ups like a dyna tech motor. The fluoro orange looks great I reckon.

should have black cva shocks- I put a set of hi-cap dampers on and a top force frp shock tower.

Gonna try and pick up some Frog Tape - I saw their ad on TV and they claim their tape doesn't leak.  I am eager to test it on an RC body.

Keep in mind that they have 2 kinds of tape, the yellow tape is less sticky and AFAIK the green tape is made for water based paint only, but it should work fine with other paints.
One thing that you probably should do after you applied the tape is go around the edges with a damp cloth, it causes the powder on the side of the tape to expand, which should better prevent bleeding.

Thanks. I'm very pleased with the colour. I was hoping the blue would be like that when backed with black.

Hmm when summer comes i will paint my Subaru Impreza 2004 Mika blue (obviously), problem is that colour Tamiya only have in TS (think it was TS-50). I got help from this Forum where a computer said out off the PS Tamiya Paints just this PS-4 was  96% simillar. This PS-4 looks very good but not sure if its the right choice for Mika blue, i think most use Metallic blue when going for Ps Tamiya paint and Those Subare Models that use Mika blue (?).

I will need to think more abaut this one, please give me sugestion if any have ...
