Quick build update...

[ATTACH=full]15964[/ATTACH]
Whipped this off tonight after sanding off my second putty application to the hull. Just a light coat of Mr. Surfacer ought to finish that off. I tried to file out the hooks on the hatch opening locks, but you'd never see them anyways. There might be a couple reflectors on the hull just outside the tail lights, and my PE set has them. Have to check some reference photos to see if they were part of the '95 refit or not.

How would you paint round reflectors? The PE reflectors are textured on the inside part already. I was thinking of a basecoat of silver, then draw in the pie-shaped divisions with a micron pen, then top-coating it with clear red, and maybe even a drop of clear epoxy for the clear plastic cover. What do you think?

Happy modelling!!
