It would also be difficult to get good paint coverage after it is glued on. <br />Regarding the "drive Units" - stay tuned . . .

Just noticed something peculiar the instructions (found on the JimZ site) -- there doesn't seem to be any mention of painting the inside of the "ventral intake" nor the "drive units" (which appear orange in the catalog images). In contrast, the instructions for the USS Andromeda and Alien Invader do tell you paint the inside of the "drive unit" with a white undercoat followed by s coat of fluorescent orange. Granted, the "drive units" on those kits are easily masked -- but I'm thinking it should still be possible, though it would require some brush painting for the front and rear faces and some of the surrounding areas.Naoto Kimurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02762712349150120196noreply@blogger.com
