Not 100% sure yet leaning towards a lime green or a burned orange , but that could change when I get to a colour chart next week

I reckon it came up alright! Fixing them up is a bit addictive. Got too many projects on the go, but the 33 will eventually be a groomer to compliment my 45.

Thanks cyberjack , in my view painting comes down to all the prep work , the better your prep work the better the result , this was in quite bad condition once I stripped it down , it has taken a lot of work and many , many hours to get it ready for paint

How did you prep the plastic engine cowling for paint? I need to do the same on my builds

Hi Em, I think you'll find that both the engine Air Cowl and tank are metal and neither are plastic.
 
 
I live a 24 Hour lifestyle, but every now and again I seem to fall asleep, well at least that's what my wife tells me.
