Painting a Die-Cast Model Car
Hi All
I've got a model Triumph Dolomite 1850 in cream which I need to convert to a Triumph 1500 in slate grey
I think I've got the engine swap covered
but what sort of paint do I use to paint it? Airfix acrylic type stuff? Or some sort of spray?
Any idea what font size is 1:43 of a number plate, and which standard windows font is closest to the standard?
Cheers,
Ben

I've done a 1:18 Escort Cossie, turned it Imperial Blue
I just used grey primer form Halfords and a genuine ford colour and lacquer. Just dust it on though else you lose the detail
