Yep I'm going to immerse it in hot water Monica and give it a good shake.But I've just spent 40 mins in the shed looking for it can't find it anywhere"..................... The search continues...........

Love the seats John. Should be a nice model when finished. I have never had much success with rattle cans, always seem to splutter, just when you don't want them to.

yeah Geoff those nasty little buggers playing more tricks on me as I get older or it could just be my brain going to mush as I keep forgetting stuff. I often go upstairs n get there and stand thinking what the hell did I come up here for.And have to return downstairs before my brain lets me know why.
At last found it why are lost items always found in the last place you look and never the 1st just wasted over an hour of precious modelling time looking for this.the plus it's not as bad as I remembered.Found hiding with the Daytona Yellow Ford Sunset Red Ford Copper Brown and Brilliant Orange. Might have to do a few more cars with these colours laying around. I picked these up for pennies from a car boot and look for more every time I go but haven't seen any in a while. Gotta do my spaying outside as they are rattle cans cause of the fumes and the smell etc but now it's raining so more later thanks John .....................[ATTACH]113816.IPB[/ATTACH]
