    Jim, I remember a little scratch built '23T that I painted candy purple. I dusted several light coats of purple over the gold, and then somehow managed to flow on a final coat that looked like glass. It was one of the bunch of finished models that I took down to our local hobby shop for the guy to display, and a week later the place burned to the ground with my modeling career going down in flames too....

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Roger the paint job sounded sweet. The fire situation is always a bad deal.
