I'm with you Lyle, I would leave all the breakable bits off until I was done grabbing it.
As far as the anti-fouling.....I'd say it was red.

Ahh, yeah. good ole Revell. Just pull'n stuff out of your *%^. There are several surviving units so there's is no excuse for inaccuracies.

A lot of egg on the ol' face...that is why I edited the above to remove the rant. I found the part in the box, loose, but there. Much more betterer.

Have you read through this PT109 project, Lyle? Not Revell but the painting definitely applies. Very beautifully done.

Getting back to this one now. The link above is awesome and contains great information. Thanks, Bruce.
Discovered why I do not need to have this many things going at one time. I've managed to lose the part that makes up the steering/instrument portion of the console. Looks like some scratch building.....for those keeping score, it is part 15. Checked Revell's dynamite USA site and they are not processing any requests for parts. Sigh.

That's a bummer Lyle. Loosing parts is something I do all the time building ships

Thanks! I do it a lot as well. This looks pretty straightforward. We shall see! Need to let it dry thoroughly and do a bit of sanding / filling.

That’s not very helpful of a Revell. Well, at least you scratched up a replacement.
