viking Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 finally got my bulkhead fly/bug meshes today that were a replacement from the galvanising place that melted mine, was hoping for a new pair but i suppose mine were not new so a second hand pair is fair enough, anyway they look new now, gave a good soak in my special cleaning fluid, then went over them with my special and favorite cleaning tool, and a quick flash over with some silver pain,easy .

Gordon R Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I have built the odd kit car or two and wished now I had taken photos. People usually see the end product with no concept of the hard work and detail that goes into something like this. Keep up the good work.
