I used Tamiya clear orange and then blue burnt steel, worked okay. It isn't a easy thing to get right, well I found it wasn't.


Nice start though Ray, looked at this old kit myself.

Nice one Ray, the rust effect looks good. It looks a nice kit for such an old mould.

brilliant little kits, these, go together with no drama
