  Q: Since I’m trying to get back to models after an unwanted time off the hobby, I’m asking for a hint. How did you manage to paint the headlight bezels in the '57 Chrysler? It seems tricky to me, and I’d love to make a work as good as yours in that delightful kit.

A: I used an airbrush to paint it with '57 Copper Brown metallic lacquer from MCW Automotive Finishes. I used the same lacquer and a small detail brush to do the headlight bezels by hand. It was very thin for airbrush use, so it took several coats, but I think it worked pretty well; because it was so thin, doing the small detail painting was easier than you would expect.
