Hi Guys.

I've been away a while, hospital mainly but also goofing around on another forum in the U.K.

Heres a quick update on the Kenny.

When I got back to my bench I found that the paint on the cab had cracked. It had crazed all over.

I used an acrylic auto paint rattle can over brand primer. I've used the same brand many times before & never had a problem, wierd huh.

So I've stripped the paint off back to the bare plastic. Now I'm ready to start again.

This time I think I'll use acrylics & enamels through my air brush.

The cab in its original guise. The picture does'nt show the crazing well, but its there

After paint stripping, & ready to start again

Nothing like a paint failure to ruin the day.

Dave,

Paint is not one of my specialities. So I can understand your irritation. Good Luck with the build and good to see you back.

Best Wishes
