I hope I'm not the only one, but has anyone ever build or ever wanted to build a plain white kit not one drop of paint on it? Just as if a company was advertising it, like the 1:12 mustang kit. I thought about it and it would only take a little bit to assemble. Thought I would see how it would go over before it went to a cbp.

When I was a little kid I used to build a lot of models that way... no paint at all. But that's because after my friends and I built them, we crashed them and set them on fire, so no need to bother with painting!

But as an adult, I don't see the point.

Only because it's a challenge, because we have to "at least" do something. Just to build something basic. Just another hair brained idea.

I got this one off ebay a while back. Touched up the red black and silver, but the white is the original beautiful white plastic. This seems a bit cooler white than the current crop of styrene, and is totally opaque. I got it for the wheels and tires, then when I saw how nice that virgin white plastic was, I just cleaned it up and called it done!

After what he said about just doing high lights with paint. I thought about doing that, and that truck is a beautiful example.

You could get away with it as long as the trim was painted/foiled and fine details were painted. I much prefer a nice smooth paint job , though.
