Long story short... the original bonnet was cracked while trying to sand the line away. Bought a replacement and it had the same thing. Used 4000 grit sanding pad and the three Tamiya compounds and it came up good.

Grey actually. Will be followed by a black base before hitting it with the SMS Blackcurrant.

I think Peter meant that you haven't shown any pictures of your build of these kits yet.

Thanks guys! Really enjoying this one. Hopefully I can do the exterior justice. Waiting for the black base to dry at the moment.
