Sorry for the confusion, General

: guess it's the different hues on each computer screen... It's just that I've been trying to find a way to paint those rubber "wheel covers" on my Tiger I and thought you'd found a good masking tape for that purpose. I'll probably paint the rubber part with the templates I bought from l'Arsenal (a nice tip from Sharkmouth).

Cheers and... when does the painting start?!? :woohoo:

No worries on the confusion my friend.B) I did paint it. To me,the actual paint does look like the color of the plastic of the kit itself. I mixed in some Tamiya buff to Tamiya olive drab.Usually,when I add a gloss clear coat,it darkens up the paint a bit.
