The 247 was also anodized and when not painted had a very patchy appearance. Here is 18612, the Capetown Clipper, after being stripped according to its file name.

I guessed that was the case John, thanks for the info. It's still a big model to brush paint silver successfully, I do think I'd like to get another one and use my new airbrush on it when I can get it unpacked.

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
