Hello Christian.
Yes that is the one. Hope that I can do it justice. Will take my time and seek help off people who know what they are talking about.This model as got a bit of history about it so it deserves to be rebuilt to the best of standards. Will keep in touch with you. Regards Peter. |

Hello again Christian.
Could you please recommend any good quality paints for my model of the MTB 49. It is made of plywood and balsa wood. Regards Peter. |

How will you paint it? If you use aerosols, the Halfords range is very popular, and you could then use Ronseal Matt or Satin Interior Polyurethane varnish (which can be thinned down for airbrush use) if you want to go that route (good results have been obtained using those products). For brush painting (or airbrush) use any matt enamel paints such as Humbrol. Avoid 2-component paints as they may react to whatever was originally painted on. Personally I use aerosols (grey primer etc) without a varnish layer, try a little area first (e.g. a hatch cover) and let it dry just to make sure there will be no reaction. The hardest thing will be the surface preparation with fine (say 320G) wet or dry with all the fittings on, and all the masking...
