    1/16 Peterbilt 359 Conventional Revell

    I thought I would have a go at one of these, there seems to be quite a bit of plastic

    I know white is probably the worse colour to spray so I don't know if to just varnish the already white plastic or go for a different colour.

    I forgot to take sprue shots before starting it, but I haven't done much.

        Looks like a nice kit John. I'd have to spray it with something if it be white or another colour. Watching with interest good luck hope all goes well.
        Cheers John

          I've been looking for a colour that will still show the decals, I don't think I will leave it white, but I will leave the chrome, I can't think of a paint that would come up that shiny

              Try the Vallejo metal colours John.

                    IT may not be as shiny as the chrome work, but you will see the sprue cut off points on the chrome parts so you will need to paint it some way. Then there's always Alclad.

                          I think I've decided on Titanium gold rather than white
