Hi all,

Thank you all for your replies on that model.

No but perhaps that was the mistake I did while painting it.

Clear windows are yet not easy to do with 3D-Printing - Tinman how do you manage to make clear Windows?

I could give the 3D-Data to everybody who would like to build such a model for himself. With this data you are able to order at "shapeways.com" the parts. You just have to register and upload the data and place the order. The parts should cost - together with delivery costs arround 10 Euros.
If interested give me your E-Mail-adress. But please do not make Business with the parts.

I never had a color-spray which was so difficult to handle.
Tamiya is one of my favorite paints but it's expensive to obtain where I live. I'd use it all the time if it were cheaper. I've heard other comment about it being "difficult" but my personal experience has always been very positive. Primer is a must for certain colors.
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."
