    Kiel kraft 1/72 Ford Trans-continental

    Only a Small for me so blink and you might miss it.
    The first thing I will want to achieve is chrome exhausts hub caps and front bull bars.
    I have already given the parts coat of alclad black gloss in readyness for the top coat of chrome.

    I didn't realise Kiel Kraft did plastic kits. I remember they made balsa wood gliders.

                  Hi Peter
                  I think that chrome is excellent. Alclad is possibly the best out there although the Vallejo water based metallics are pretty good.
