      That is a beautiful finish mate.
      Thanks...trying to make plastic look like painted metal

      It is also the first time I have used MRP paints and I was impressed with the results (after a bit of an initial struggle). I'll be using them again.

        That's very impressive now I can see the pictures on a decent sized screen.

        As a coincidence I was watching Hornby: A Model World last night and the episode featured the research & design that went into this kit. Interesting to see the lead designer drawing lines on a screen and measuring pipes in the engine bay one day, then be greated by a brilliantly finished model the next.
