I thought I would have a go at one of these, there seems to be quite a bit of plastic :smiling3:

I know white is probably the worse colour to spray so I don't know if to just varnish the already white plastic or go for a different colour.

I forgot to take sprue shots before starting it, but I haven't done much.

Looks like a nice kit John. I'd have to spray it with something if it be white or another colour. Watching with interest good luck hope all goes well.

I've been looking for a colour that will still show the decals, I don't think I will leave it white, but I will leave the chrome, I can't think of a paint that would come up that shiny

I tried it some time back but I can't remember it being so shiny
IT may not be as shiny as the chrome work, but you will see the sprue cut off points on the chrome parts so you will need to paint it some way. Then there's always Alclad. :smiling3:

I've done very little with this, the instructions are so bad I've been put off with it, I have to either get motivated to move on with it or put it to one side and come back to it later.

Hi John, I use a chrome pen to cover sprue cut off points, much better than any of the paints.
