    High end paint job, Allan.
    How did you come up with that mixture? Looks amazing.

    Thanks George, ---------------
    a few spots needed sanding out but I've resisted the urge to touch up the paint, straight 1781 looks a little too grainy !

    Allan, the grainy look may be more visible due to the new light? Those LED's are a lot less "forgiving" as far as I can tell.

    Thanks Spiros, repeat yourself as often as you like ! ----------------
    Thanks Erik, the 1781 is just grainy but I think the X22 helps, looks better to the eye, not the camera !

    Working on the undercarriage, most things painted with 1418, waiting for the Pledge to dry before decals go on !
