- put 3 rather than 2 coats of LM on the outside
- use thinner marker for marking out the design
- use scissors where possible rather than knife
- use tape for window surrounds not LM
- do finer job of masking so i dont need to use decals to disguise!

i used tamiya rattlers and the RCS LM. i had an xacto to swann morton number 3. the xacto blades appear sharper in my view but i like the way the blade fixes into the number 3 handle

im definitely hooked and next up will be a shell for the b3's stablemate an xx4 WE

thanks everyone on here for helping out with the advice and pls do give me any feedback but note that i will not be buying a compressor (yet!)
Nice work mate for your first shell
