I chickened out in the end, price is good though.
Not sure I can paint all the nooks and crannies very well after the body is fully built and 'filled'. Wouldn't get close to your paint finish with rattle cans..

I see, Eric.
But as I also see it, painting with rattle cans should not be a problem.
If you work in sub-assemblies, like I did, you can rattlecan each sub-assembly and hand paint what's needed before bringing all of them together.
It worked for me, it should work also for you!

Thanks, Neuling!
Both scratchbuilt radiosets add a pinch of realism too...

I think I could paint it as assemblies, then touch up where the assemblies join, after weld seams are added, filler etc.
Its a handsome thing and only £25ish posted, erm..

Thanks Gorby!
Yes, that's exactly what I meant-and what I did-3 years ago, Eric
