Hi Warren Watching this with interest, I've modelled a couple of 1/20 classic F1 cars with another 8 odd in the stash to do with a nice gap on the shelf just the right size for this beauty! I have a little experience of the real things having worked at Williams machining metallic parts from 1998 to 2007. Taking my lad to Goodwood FoS this year too. Where did you get the detail up set from? SpotModel? cheers Christian

Thanks Rayprit Yes I know how dangerous watching YT is!! thank you Christian

HI Granto Thank you for your help - I will try that! Christian

Can anyone help me with my failed attempts at this please? Why when I gently touch the surface with water, leave for 2-3 mins, then gently touch with a brush/toothpick etc. I go straight through the top coats, the hairspray and the "primer" colour to the primer itself? I am leaving the item between coats for a day to cure, I have watched hours of Youtube videos to see where I might be going wrong, the only thing I can think it could be is that the hairspray coat is too thick? The hairspray I'm using is Silvikrin classic maximum hold if that makes any difference. I would add a photo but the post won't accept the URL link. thank you Christian
