paint is 3 coats of Duplicolor Metal specks one coat of a dark blue nail polish then 2 wet coats of the Duplicolor again. Wet sanded with 2000 grit wet and dry then a nice wet coat of Duplicolor clear. Decals were then applied two days later a mist then a wet coat of Tamiya clear.

I only used the nail polish as it wasnt quite dark enough imo with the Duplicolor alone.

Chris, its definitely a great kit for that, if you leave well enough alone :rolleyes: , getting something on the shelf that looks good is great motivation

Dave, not to rub it in but it's been a hot (for here) dry one too :P

Bill, no its the Revell body, A fellow club member just finished his as I started mine and I thought the rear wheel arch cutouts looked to big so I only went about halfway on mine.

Thanks Tyrone, means a lot buddy.

I've been working on the steering box linkage assembly's so not much to show, hope to get the master cylinders drilled and the cage mounted today so hopefully a few pics later of all that.
