So you just spray the cab acrylic yellow and scrape the dried paint off the windows?

On the green MK I just sprayed the green all over the transparent cab then when the acrylic paint had set, just scraped it of the windscreen and other windows with a wooden tooth pick that was cut to a chisel point.

Some people paint the glass with a coat of clear first as the acrylic tends not to stick to the klear.

On the Yellow fuel bowser I reverted to masking the glass as I knew it would need a good coat of white followed by several light coats of yellow and thought the white might have shown through if I just scraped the paint off.

brilliant finish, these JB tools really are good and nobody has adopted the clear cabs yet, not even Airfix.

Excellent work Splash and I would agree that these JB toolings are well worth picking up.
