another small update        right then, i need some help from all the experts out there! ive been test painting some of the skin panels im not using ive used "mr Metal primer" and then a Tamiya mix to produce the greyish top coat. problem im coming across is all the rivet detail is disappearing. the coats of primer and paint are as thin as i can possibly get them and the paint itself is very thin, but still losing the detail! any ideas?

Hi Dan I see your problem the rivets seem to be lightly etched or printed on to the skins and also of the flush type so any paint will cover them . A ponce wheel will raise the rivets but that will make them non flush so not really an option, another thing is maybe small blobs of PVA or super glue to give a small raised impression on the skins. Will ponder this a little more regards Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .
