    This 2nd pic is of the 2nd coat after a repair for dust. It's a little darker

    Well you kind of get to fin out! I'm posting 2 pics, the first is 1 dust coat, then 1 medium coat of Cobalt Blue. The Alclad II instructions recommend 1 do 1 light coat wait 10 mins 7 than 2 medium coats. It's a lacquer, but unlike any i've used before. The problem with this paint, it that it has been designed to be translucent - so the silver base shines through. Well that's great, but it makes it really difficult to patch up issues. I had dust land in one spot, lightly sanded it out, then when touching up, I ended up with a light spot (where the sanding was) then dark areas outside of it. I also ended up with 2 splodges - same issue trying to sand out and patch up. I'll probably give it one more coat. This paint also attracts dust. Once washed and air dried, it's like a magnet for dust. never seen anything like that before!

    Builds up into a sweet looking kit, and the pinky red is nice

    Eleanor is another favourite of mine, you build is great!

    Mr Rider, it looks that way! The rubber on this kit is very corrosive! Agree, the food was fiddly, thanks for the comments!
  20. Funkychiken
    That paint work is amazing!

    Unfortunately the plastic pins broke during disassembly so I have to just glue them back as best I could, it no longer rolls, but that's not an issue, it does only sit on 3 wheels now, but it looks a lot better. This took loads of time, but it's great to save an old build!

    Coming along quickly now, excellent build and progress!
