EricBI chickened out in the end, price is good though.
Not sure I can paint all the nooks and crannies very well after the body is fully built and 'filled'. Wouldn't get close to your paint finish with rattle cans..

Angel YovtshevI see, Eric.
But as I also see it, painting with rattle cans should not be a problem.
If you work in sub-assemblies, like I did, you can rattlecan each sub-assembly and hand paint what's needed before bringing all of them together.
It worked for me, it should work also for you!

Angel YovtshevThanks, Neuling!
Both scratchbuilt radiosets add a pinch of realism too...

EricBI think I could paint it as assemblies, then touch up where the assemblies join, after weld seams are added, filler etc.
Its a handsome thing and only £25ish posted, erm..

Yes, that's exactly what I meant-and what I did-3 years ago, Eric
