Only a Small for me so blink and you might miss it.
The first thing I will want to achieve is chrome exhausts hub caps and front bull bars.
I have already given the parts coat of alclad black gloss in readyness for the top coat of chrome.
The kit.
And parts
And what will be the chrome parts.

I didn't realise Kiel Kraft did plastic kits. I remember they made balsa wood gliders.

Hi Peter
I think that chrome is excellent. Alclad is possibly the best out there although the Vallejo water based metallics are pretty good.
