Whereas I have models that I converted 30 years ago, and if handled the wrong way, bits break off the plastic card That’s why I was wondering if maybe the colour would affect this behaviour.I have Evergreen sheet and strip styrene that I have been using for well over 30 years.....rest assured that it is not brittle and models just as well as the day I bought it back in the late 70's.
Might also be affected by the paint……enamels would readily leach out plasticisers, and UV in sunlight causes issues with un stabilised plastics as well.Whereas I have models that I converted 30 years ago, and if handled the wrong way, bits break off the plastic card That’s why I was wondering if maybe the colour would affect this behaviour.

Am I right in thinking you made the half-round steps in the tail gate by punching out a full circle, then glueing half of it back in?
TBH, XF58 on cab & chassis 7yrs old.... on body with 7-10% X20 for spraying seemed a tad lighter? Doesnt show in pics really but IRL a tone or 2 lighter, will go with it as i do vary shades on buildsNick. Coming along nicely like that paint job be looking for more updates

Mini Me ... many thanks sirLooks the Bomb Nick wait on camo it is then......that's a beauty of a "mod"!
I saw that on the unpainted model, that’s why I wondered if you had done it like I thought Neither is a method I had considered, so now I’ll have some to try if I ever need to make semicircular cutouts myself.i used a hole punch set, but only pressed hard the lower needed semicircle/hemisphere.... I cut out semicircle with scalpel, ...but I did leave a scar/mark from punch
I have a Italeri 1/35 Bedford that has a “Mickey Mouse Ear” Camo options I had to look one up to see what they were talking about. Great choice Nick.Lee
