John - I am familiar w the hairspray thing but I think that can only be done when using acrylics. I haven't had the courage yet to do an entire model with airbrushed acrylics. Since the hairspray is water based as are acrylics, I presume the water loosens both to allow a silver undercoat to show when chipped. Are those the kit seatbelts?

Rob, you can also do it with vilyl acrilics like tamiya and lacquers but you dont want too much time to pass. Seatbelts are from HGW!!!

Thanks John - I have been focusing on my flying scale models too much the past few years and have to get back to doing some more plastic!

John - one more question - was the cowl flap detail part of the kit? The more I look at your model, the more I find!

There is also the eduard one, maybe easier to find, less expensive and 3d not resin...

Verifying...
