Great job Chris Thanks Chris, Not too far away. I've got a coat of Steel on the hot nozzles now and will try to get some heat staining on them today. 13 hours ago, Dunny said: Alistair, Looking lovely - I could not have resisted unmasking that canopy by now! Cheers, Roger Thanks Roger, The temptation has been almost too much to overcome but as I haven't done the Satin coat yet i'm managing to ignore the need.

AliGauld Posted March 19, 2023 Author Share Posted March 19, 2023 I got a satin coat mixed with a couple of drops of neutral grey on and unmasked this morning. Finished off the various lights as well. The hot nozzles got some heat staining. I'll let that dry overnight and get them fitted tomorrow. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
