The machine looks fantastic! Okay, I didn't know it was that straight-forward ... wasn't sure how some of them looked so good. I guess worse case is I could always wipe the paint off and try again.
Back in the days we were painting these we found Testers to be the best. Never left any brush strokes. Never used a tooth pick, just a Q tip with some paint thinner and a dry old tee shirt for detailing?
Amazon had Labor Day sales on Testors paints today, so great timing everyone! They also had PlastiKote 470 Gray Etching Primer Enamel, which is normally $35 on sale for only $7.30, so I couldn't pass it up (just in case). These are Amazon Prime member prices.
