crazyjim Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 This is a Revell 1/12 Crusader chopper that I painted HOK tangelo pearl. Most of the chrome was stripped, painted black and coated with that Japenese powder ginsing or whatever it's called. Bike was wired, fuel line, oil lines, throttle, clutch, brake controls were added. Also added a spoiler to the rear fender. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iBorg Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 One of the best builds of this kit I've seen. The downplaying of the chrome is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djmcguire Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 How did you like working with the 'chroming powder'? I've seen it before and always been tempted to get some but wasn't sure how easily it applied and how well it worked...but based on your results I might have to give it a shot.

crazyjim Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 It doesn't shine up like chrome. Maybe black chrome. It sure gives a different finish. I can't remember the real name though. I know it starts with a "g" and it's not gunzo. I paint the part gloss black and then apply the powder with a Q-Tip and then polish with a soft cloth. Wear gloves. The powder is very fine and somewhat messy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
