Hey all,

I’m looking for some ideas on how to finish this kit. I think I’m just getting bogged down with all the possibile directions I can take with it.

So…any ideas???

Thanks!!

Go to this link:

And decide if you want to show it like the photo, with contrasting shades, or try to show it in “fresher paint” like as if was just from the factory.

I built that model 15 years ago for a friend. Can’t remember any problems with the kit. You may want to use something like Alclad or Metalizer for the bare metal sections.
