You can't put them on and leave them as you can with a nice 5mm prong in a hole type.... I need to get in to the habit of drilling & metal rodding them I guess My interior kits are Ryefield Tiger 1 and Takom Kingtiger. But may be just beyond my skill set at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 a breakthrough.... imagine if you thin paint it sprays better... who'd have thunk it.... ammo 4bo thinned 50:50 with ammo transparator.... can even see some of the highlight!!!!!!!!!

Model Mate Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Your preshading looks fab Rob. Never heard of transparator before, but it makes sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robw_uk Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 decals on.... not going to over weather it because of the interior, just some panel lines and a touch of oil i think   6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â need to touch up & weather this - all major parts just placed for fit testing.... Â Â Â Hi Rob, my best advice on the booze/brass is try MrColor Burnishable metallic's. I've found it to be the best and polish's up really well with something like a cotton bud. No need for a thick coating which can produce problems with fit of parts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
