Good stuff guys!
Jan, nice chrome, but is it a little too dark? Thinking it would be more realistic a bit lighter. (?)

I think, the chrome looks very lifelike in scale. It looks like every Cragar I saw in the glory days of the muscle cars.

Thanks, guys. Decals shortly
Are you gloss coating 100% or just the areas to receive decals?

I do the whole thing, Yves. My gloss, Pledge, changes the paint colour quite dramatically. I did the wings before the wife dragged me out for a death march yesterday
This was the reason to ask you: I use Pledge (or Future) as well and if the base coat is really so matt/dry as yours, the gloss makes it darker. Even after using dull coat at the end the colour doesn't change. I started using gloss/semi gloss paints, still add Future for decals but only partially. At the end with weathering and whatnot the colour is...what it is.
Nice berth you have, amigo! Pretty clean (still new I believe)!

I never use it for anything but drying, decals, and adding the lil bits. I'm thinking of adding Tamiya Clear Gloss into the mix when spritzing to avoid Future/Pledge altogether. I think I've found a source for Mr, Hobby/Gunze that has some decent shipping costs. So far, the paints I've used have a glossy finish and they are cheaper than Tamiya
