Seen this one recently and thought it looked a pretty good model.

You have got a good shine on that body coat.

Interested to see the rest of this one go together.

Happy Modelling

Ken

Very nice indeed.

Looks like you have some good weather with you today looking at your pictures.

Been warm here but blowing a gale at the same time.

Hi all here is the next update, I'm finding it difficult not to over do the weathering, I'm going for well cared for but used, thing is I love making things old and neglected I think it makes a subject more interesting, keeping that in check is proving extremely difficult, but I have to as the spray job is one of the best I've done, I'm really proud of the gloss (although I think that's just down to the great cheap paint) (incidentally I checked out thing me bobs where my missus said they sold it in metallic colours (only gold and silver in metalic) but even better bargain only a quid a can, of course I couldn't resist so I bought another 5 cans.

Nicely done Ken. I have to echo Steve about the paint. I take it that it's had a close coat applied?
