Revell BMW Isetta 250 - WIP

Album image #1
Super Clean did not work at all well on these chrome parts. The quality of the chrome is very high. I believe there is some kind of coating. 
 

Album image #2
Tries using Tamiya masking sheet to do the window masks but later we see that it has drawbacks. 
 

Album image #3
Finally managed to get all the chrome off.  
 

Album image #4
Rechromed with Alclad II. Love that stuff. 
 

Album image #5
The masking sheet is not suitable for curved surfaces... 
 

Album image #6
Luckily there was not too much marring where the mask separated but lesson learnt all the same.

Tried out Alclad's Aluminum and love the finish it gives. Going to get more Alclad paints for sure.

Decided to strip the paint work and try again, after messing up trying to add metal strips to the door...

This is my third attempt. Using mr Color level thinner, reducing pressure and thinner coats got me a good finish. Problem now is avoiding dust! 
 

Album image #17
First time using metal foil... 
 

Album image #18
I like the result and it's not too difficult to do.  
 

Album image #19
The door turn out well. Very pleased with it 
 

Album image #20
A little flocking… 
 

Album image #21
I like how the flocking turned out though I need to find a finer grain flock, if possible. 
 

Album image #22
Weathered the undercarriage. A mix of panel wash, light sprays of gray and brown, clear coat and dry brushing with silver.  
 

Album image #23
Tried out automotive clear coat. Amazing stuff. Very happy with it. 
 

Album image #24
Almost there. Just the luggage and roof to do.
