Naturally I'll be watching. Really like the Trumpy KVs - wish all their kits wee this good. I know you're going for OOB, but please consider changing the engine grills for PE items - it'll look so much better.

Too late Dierk. I'm sure the PE grills would look great but it's too late for that. Thanks for stopping by!

OK, primer is on. Trying out the Vallejo black primer. Not real happy with it. It went on good but is very easy to scratch. Doesn't seem to be very durable.   |

I shot some of the Vallejo 4BO Russian green primer over the black and lightened it with their Dunkelgelb yellow primer. Seems to be holding up real well. I must have done something wrong with the black as it was easy to scratch. Much more durable now. Maybe the extra coats? Green is good!   |
