The chrome is sometimes a bit of a BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH shoot at best ---
It is after all still a pretty old tool ---despite some new(er) parts that have been added ---
Some of the re-issues have very nice chrome but the flash flaw still remains -- a function of the age of the mold more than the quality of the chrome plating ----
(If the flash is not too large I shave it off with a razor blade or new #11 blade and touch up with a silver calligraphy pen --- works well for the smaller areas..)
By the way ----------Your drag car chassis looks really good so far ---!!! Post some finished pics too!!!
