Cool! I've read on other forums that the Zero Paints can be hard to come by and their service is lacking. Hope they have their ducks in a row now.

I'm looking for the paint at a place in this country called Hobbyworld-usa.

What was the name of that metal paint you were telling me about a while back.
 
CATERPILLAR D7

AK Interactive Xtreme Metal.

Easy to spray and very durable, readily available in the states. Cleanup with lacquer thinner.

Typical Miniart. Lots of parts. Very small parts.

This is going to take a while.

Are you going to wire it up also? There's fuel injector lines on the other side, I'm sure you've seen them in photos.

The heart of the bull is nearly complete. This engine is made up 100+ parts. There will be more painting before all is done.

That is one complicated mess but you sure have it looking good Terry.

I can't comment on the Zero paint but I , like Mike am very happy with the AK Xterme metal.

Cheers, Christian B)
