Pascal Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 The resin engine fans were sprayed with primer and silver from a spraycan using this template I bought for my homework in school (30 years ago !). The template leaves a nice clean ring for the CA-glue : JimRice, Harold and Rick Griewski 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimRice Posted October 23, 2017 Author Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) I've now tried several techniques. None have yielded acceptable results. I've stripped and painted 3 times now. The template directly over tire was close, but due to somewhat rounded tire sidewall, it still resulted in a bit of a soft edge due to offset between template and tire. I scribed a line between wheel and tire, but I just suck at free handing and couldn't keep it exact enough. The single sliced circle was close. I think I shot too heavy a coat of paint and got some bleed under. I need to improve my skills and the only way is practice. So, I'll forge ahead and keep trying. I can tell I'm badly out of practice. Here is the kit as it sits, sans wheels/tires. Edited October 23, 2017 by JimRice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
