Nice to see this one starting Ken. Revell have made a nice job of redesigning their instruction manuals but those old "newspaper" black and white ones certainly lasted out for a very long time. The other unusual thing with revell models are the number of times they get you to mix 2 paint shades to get the correct colours for the finish. Happy Modelling

Not sure what's happening here. Trying to paint the rad and fan blade washed the sprue as normal in soapy water but the paint won't stick I've primed it and taken it off 3 times (other parts on the same sprue were fine first time) the rad and the fan blade just won't seem to take the paint (it looks like a grease problem) I've scrubbed it with meths even but still get the same problem. Help. Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Oh dear, I remember this one. It's all good until one gets to all the equipment. Hopefully yours is rendered better than mine. It was like everything was in Full-HD and then the equipment was like a blurry 320x200 pixel Realmedia movie downloaded in 1996 with a 19.6k baud modem.
