Can you find an undecorated SW1200 shell at your local hobby shop? If so, try your skills on that. I've done about 10 undecorated shells into various schemes, and if I screw up, it's just the cost of the paint and shell I have to deal with. <br /> <br />An airbrush or a can of aerosol paint works best- don't hand paint unless you're doing details-like handrails and such. Take your time, and you should be good to go. Don't add details until you're done with the paint. I've done a few contest-quality models that way, and have finished 2nd or 3rd a few times. Details are a big thing with contest judges.[8D]
