Hi Alan. Hope you are well. Thanks for the link which your SOS is looking great. I was thinking about applying some Tamiya gold leaf. Do you think that it would look ok ?. Thanks and best regards. Mark

Thanks and best regards. Mark Hi Mark, there is a fantastic amount of ornamentation on this build so applying gold leaf would probably work but think it would be a long process to cover everything needed... However, I would be tempted to order a back issue with some of the ornamentation in it and use that the test out whether it would work or not.... Hope this helps.. Regards Alan

I hope you dont mind Alan. Thanks again and best regards. Mark Hi Mark, of course I don't mind. The sharing of tips and info is all part of this great forum so you go ahead.... A word on the paint, it's not the easiest paint to work with but stir thoroughly and for best results apply with a small fine brush in very thin layers to build up the metallic look... I found in some places I applied 4 thin coats.. When done, apply a clear coat gloss varnish for protection.... Any queries then get back to me.. Regards Alan
