Valiant nose leg and anti flash white


Stressy

Recommended Posts

My much delayed build of the Airfix Valiant is nearing completion.  I've modded a few areas including the width of the nosewheel bay. I'll  shorten the leg itself but can anyone tell me if it needs also to be moved further forward,  and if so by how much?

Also any recommendations on the paint to use for anti flash white.  I seem to recal Halfords  Appliance White being mentioned in the past - is it any good?

I can’t help with the wheel bay/leg question I’m afraid but I use Halford’s Toyota White for anti flash white. It’s very very slightly ‘warmer’ than Appliance White.

Can't speak for the landing gear position but I will happily endorse Halfords white. 

These models were both sprayed straight from the can with a white primer underneath, pre shades done with a drybrushing technique but barely shows.
