Elfin Magic BJ But if you must know: #1- Dawn dish washing soap to clean raw tracks. That's the same stuff they use to get the crude oil off of animals and birds. #2- Treat with Track Black #3- A light wash of Burnt Sienna and Raw Umber oils #4- Used my finger tip to rub the high spots with AK Dark Steel pigment. Don't tell my secret,keep it to yourself. Tony |

Tracks always brings things together, nothing like a nice pair of shoes! Nice touch on the fender as well Tony, I bet the driver got a talking-to after that one. Maybe he's the one that took your jar? |

That may be Bill I did take 10 points off his permit. The way they ran over each other on the Russian front I figured a little battle damage was fitting. Thanks Tony |

Hi I think all the kit parts are in place except the tools and tow cable. She's ready to tape off the suspension and shoot the primer.    Since this is the early series it will be mono green without screen skirts.  That's my story and i'm stickin to it Tony |
