Jim - I do also like that green colour scheme on the box art, but have seen a few people have a lot of problems getting the decals to lay down properly, which is what causing me to go with a plain colour.
I might have a go with one of the side decals and see how it goes. Time to think about it yet.
Dirk - The flame decals are the ones I like, and as you say, most people seem to do the blue one.
Anyhow.........
Got some more engine parts cleaned up and some colour on them.
The rough cast look on the engine and gearbox is how it comes moulded. Shame it will not be seen once together.
Cleaned up the internal tub, sprayed gunmetal on the inside and dark aluminium on the outside.
Got to tidy up the silver around the gear stick boss. Wasn't worried when I painted it, as I tried to use some flock to get a carpet look, which would have covered up the overpainting, but didn't work, so washed it all out, and went back to being just painted.
Because the inside of the tub is going to be all black, I going to try painting each part in a slightly different shade, and to help this along have put some mats in the front to give it some different texture.
I first used some masking tape to create the templates.
Put the tape onto some sticky back felt, I found laying around.
Cut out the felt around the templates.
Then stuck the felt onto the floor of the tub. Just gives it some different texture and shade of colour.
Thanks
