*** Great tip Trevor,I just tried experimenting with a piece of this foil onto some wood,used copydex adhesive and a rubber artists painting tip to smooth the foil out,I think that I will do my tank this way,it certainly looks much better than mere silver paint.It is also good to know that others here are building this model.
