Would indeed be a shame to cover up that nice engine...

Here are two scenes from Lawrence of Arabia. Thanks for that! I think, from what i 've seen, that RR actually sent them with the brass parts shining. What i am going to do on the paint issue in the engine bay is still unknown.... |

Here i am again. The S/M armoured car, eeerrrr the RR that is, has progressed. Everything is assembled. Ready for primer now. Still trying to find info on some things. Hopefully a grey update tomorrow.     |

We have grey. Although it was thoroughly washed twice it still retained oil, so it didn't go exactly as planned but nothing serious. I will just let it rest a few days and then it is paint time.   |

Never had that mottled problem, I don’t think. What did you use?

Never had that mottled problem, I don’t think. What did you use? That can happen when the plastic has residue which has been absorbed. The primer will release the darned stuff and, it will evaporate over a few days. |

The primer will release the darned stuff and, it will evaporate over a few days. Exactly! I have seen it before. On Soviet era kits from that region. They used way too much oil during casting to ensure they would be ejected due to bad plastic quality. In a few days it will sit and will be just fine. No matter how many times you wash these kits there will always be oil left. A friend says about these kits that they used recycled Soviet taperware .... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 |
