de-soldering braid comes in several useful sizes and has a very accurate braid, but it is copper coloured so must be painted with the appropriate metaliser paint.
It's hard to add to the previous comments, but WOW, did you ever nail the details on this. The weathering and engineering are superb. This has to be the finest scale belly tanker I have seen yet. Outstanding!
Yeah, there is a lot of P1800 in there. The design requires refinement, but with some work I think I could like this. It is certainly different, and has more potential than most vehicles from that part of the world. Neat.
Cool! That's two Revell oldies in the same day. Nice work on this quirky old rod. This kit and the T-Bone Stake always intrigued me as a kid. Nice job on this one. Very cool! Kind of makes me want to look for an old T-Bone
Nice work. Glad to see this kit being built. I bought one about 4 or 5 years ago, and I fully intend to build mine. I'll be watching to see how this goes together.
If you are building for maximum race car realism; paint, polish (but not show car shiny) then decal. Apply wax gently (I use Tamiya wax). Forget the clear. When it comes to ultimate realism, nothing looks worse than a race car with clear.
That's very good to know, thanks. It is also safer with regard to the build up and discharge of a static charge. Not a good thing in an atmosphere of volatile vapor
Beautiful Ferrari! I love the 250 LM, and you have done a fantastic job building this one. Nice detailing. This kit builds up better than I thought it would. Well done.
That is a gorgeous Lotus. Your hard work in taming the stance paid off well, as you have captured the essence of the Lotus nicely. Nice work on the details. Simply beautiful.
