Nice photos. You've got a great smooth finish top and bottom.

Hi all,

I was wondering if you could lend a piece of advice.
I'm about to start my XH558 Avro Vulcan gift set, however I am not convinced
by the paints that have come with it (especially the grey)

Do you by any chance still have a list of the colours you used?

PS: Your Model :wow She is so beautiful!
