TOPIC:

25°C isn't excessively warm, but it resembles a "dry" coat where it's shot from too far away or otherwise dried before it'badword the surface, if it's powdery or rub of then that seems possible ?
Could it be insufficient mixing ? Or if it's just a super light dust coat then that will look fairly matt too ?

Generaly, it makes that when it's too cold. I will retry at home next week. And mix the can longer.
The body was contamined but I washed it and dry it before paint.

Been very busy lately fulfilling a dream I have had for a while now and the pics below will explain. I raced BMX here in the states in 81-84. For the last 3 years I had/used a Skyway TA that was totally decked out. Given to my brother it subsequently got swiped and never seen again. Probably resides at the bottom of the local river if I had my guess......

Although this is a re release it is as close as I will ever come to the original and was lucky to find it, thus began my journey to replicate my former racer.....

Here is the beginning stages.....

That's a super clean looking build there ^^.

Meanwhile, I have another fleabay purchase;
Not quite a time capsule, the box has some corner wear, but the contents are complete / bagged / sealed.
Acoms Mk.III in an early edition box, on Band 1.
AS-5S servos inc. factory fitted horns & and ARC-227 receiver, plus all the fittings, pennant etc. all in sealed bags 

Too nice Jacque. Will you put them on a rc or keep this set on a shelf?

I used to hate the idea of things being just sat on a shelf untouched, just gathering dust & lying unused for the purpose they were intended, but now I can understand this approach a little better. The truly NIB sets will stay NIB (currently this Mk.III and the Mk.IV I acquired a couple of weeks ago).

I have a huge amount of vintage radio gear, mostly Acoms & Hitec, but I also have a couple of more modern modular TX's & I am slowly collecting the necessary modules to reduce my active fleet of transmitters to just two Hitec Optic6. I have a Sanwa 27MHz AM module & I'm waiting for a Hitec / Futaba adaptor. I have a number of other modules too.

I suppose I should really document the modular TX project in it's own thread?

Yes it could be interesting.

So, technically the mail man has not yet brought this to me, the auction only finished 5 minutes ago, but hopefully this will be with me in the next 2~3 days;
