This was already put together by me a very long time ago.

Very old decals. They have turned yellowish.

The chrome parts after a bath in Mr.Muscle drain cleaner. Nasty stuff, I've got a headache now.

Drain cleaner... And what it does to a (new!) brush. Goodbye brush, you have performed well in removing the chrome.

Engine is repainted. The chrome parts look much better in real life.

This brings back memories, nightmares, but still memories.
I never was any good with anything on road wheels.

i have to maybe do something similar, so i am really interested in seeing how that chrome is done all over again 🙂

Chrome is done with black primer, Tamiya Chrome Silver, and Vallejo gloss varnish. I think the pictures turn out a bit strange due to the varnish.

I found out that Tamiya Chrome Silver needs a non-acrylic based varnish... It reacts with the Vallejo varnish. Drat.

Spanjaard: I removed the chrome with Mr. Muscle drain cleaner, but its nasty stuff and I suspect it interacts with the plastic. I worked quickly so I got out scott free.
I like the look of the chrome silver, but it is said that for a real chrome look you better use Alclad. Since I don't airbrush and want my paint water-based, I opted for the Tamiya. (Which is airbrush paint as well, but I didn't know that when I bought it, and it works with brush just as well.)
Engine is fitted in the frame. Very tight fit.

tamiya works well with brush. l have used it for years. For airbrushing, it has to be thinned.

Vincent, try using oven cleaner for removing chrome. Works well for me and it doesn't eat your brushes.

Roy: I haven't seen a Matchbox marker, so I think not.
Emil: I'll look for it at the local supermarket, thanks.

Roy McKay: I found a Matchbox stamp, dated 1980.
Lots of stuff done: tank, seats, mufflers etc.

All done with this one. Lots of errors, but I'm still pleased with the end result.

Martin, that's because it is a bit wonky 😉
But mainly because the license plate is not installed perfectly horizontal, and the top case rests on that.
Thanks for the compliment.
