You've got yourself a beautiful Snipe there Dave. Both you and Des have commented on it being a superb kit so I'm looking forward to building both versions. I'm more than a little intimidated by these inter-war silver finishes though, especially after seeing what a great job you've done here. You've set the bar pretty high!

Cheers,

Chris

Prez, Steve, Bob & Chris - thank you all.

Chris - I think you would be pleasantly surprised at how well this kit goes together, so you really must do this one.  You always build great models so I have faith in your ability to take on the silver painting challenge.

Regards

Dave

As we say in fencing, what's the point?

Chris - If you dont already, I highly recommend you get a spray can of Chrome from that fine domestic institution and purveyor of auto parts. Its laquer but just decant it and spray. As it gets older you may have to thin it a bit. Drys fast, hard and very metallic - but not chrome as the label indicates. Normal laquer hazard protection applies.

Thanks for the tip Steve. I've added it to the list for my next visit to Crappy Tire. It's their brand I'm to look for, correct?

Cheers,

Yes CT brand. Chrome cap but the paint as you can guess is just a bright silver. Nissan silver is another good one.
