Jim. @jim1860.bsky.social · 8hThat is exactly how I process the kit Ian. It's always worked for me. 010
Jim. @jim1860.bsky.social · 10hI do that after the matt varnish stage, it adheres better o the finish. 100
Jim. @jim1860.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Brilliant, thanks for that bit of information, learning all the time. 020
Jim. @jim1860.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Got the gloss coat on and decals, sealed them with gloss. I'll let this dry and do some weathering then dumb it all down with a matt varnish. Andys Hobby 1/16 M3/M3A1 Halftrack. The bonnet decal is interesting in that the centre is coloured. #histscalemodels 8795
Jim. @jim1860.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Thank you, yes it was hoping it had been here well before now. 010
Jim. @jim1860.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Thats all the parts on the kit, just a clear coat of varnish for the decals and weathering then a matt varnish to seal it in. I've had stowage on order for a while now, apparently it will be here soon. Its from Value Gear. Hmm. #histscalemodels 9502
Jim. @jim1860.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Thank you, yes it will my friend. I did the tyres1st so that I could ensure I had good coverage all over. 020
Jim. @jim1860.bsky.social · 07/10/2026They have no class, in 30 years time the classics will still be what know as classics, not of the cars around today will ever reach that milestone. 010
Jim. @jim1860.bsky.social · 07/10/2026What do they think when the concept starts, it awful, they'd actually make more sales bringing some of the original styles back. 120
Jim. @jim1860.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The 8 hour getting up with the alarm is a long distance memory these days. 020
Jim. @jim1860.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Fortunately its position may obscure that, im sure once painted it'll blen in. Thankfully you found the piece. 120
Jim. @jim1860.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Its tested my patience Jason. I expected better from a new mould. 110
Jim. @jim1860.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Thats a nice one John. Yes it does seem an issue. I think when you are joining them this way it leave room for the fitting to be out. The upper parts had to be adjusted to fit. You wont see it in the finish but I know its there. 000
Jim. @jim1860.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Cheers Ian. between £114 and £145. I got mine reduced because I had some points with Jadlam. 100
