There’s a small wonder in the making Paul  I’d like to build larger more complex kits but I’ve no time and even less attention span! |

Steve, Tommy cheers fellas Steve I wish they had made the cab in clear plastic with the glazing already in place. That would be a lot easier to handle and would look a lot better. As for time, well I hear you there dude. Now that the weather is finally clearing I have a lot do down the allotment  |

Gently pick at it with a tooth pick, once you get a hold it'll just pull off in one piece. Si, thank you kindly fella . |

Steve I wish they had made the cab in clear plastic with the glazing already in place. That would be a lot easier to handle and would look a lot better. That would be cool, but in the case of Braille Scale; that technique has only started being done in the past five years. It was started by Japanese, Korean and Chinese model companies and so far, Airfix is the only Western company that has adopted that style of glazing. |

Chaps you are too kind, thank you awesomely . After giving the little pesker a panel lining with Mig track wash, I went back over today with a mix of Paynes Grey and lots of Zinc White . I used a makeup pad and kind of added the paint like a dry brushing. It'll need a bit tomorrow but this has to dry orfe first .    |

Many thanks Ian , it is trying the patience though . I add the mask with an old brush, once it's on the brush it is a nightmare to clean off again |

It looks superb, and I've never heard of panel lining with track wash and it seems very effective.
