Unread post by Stickyfinger »

Images show what I have to do....

I have replaced the doors and fixed the big "Pull" in front wing along the wing/bumper joint.

Nah, paint it bright orange :) I think an orange XM would look great... They looked good in solid cherry red and I always thought it a shame no UK models were ever offered in that colour... I do believe only the XM Multimedia was ever offered in bright red...

I could not afford the masking tape.....and that Tartan paint that was available to all junior staff is no longer available as it "offends their human rights" apparently.

The Polka Dots would be fairly simple; paintball guns on LOW power with assorted coloured paint balls.
