Like the Panzer 38(t), this kit was started a few months ago and then put aside. It was pretty much ready for painting when I restarted it.

I decided to use enamels on this. As it happens, all three external colors are Floquil Railroad colors. The yellow on the wings is Reefer Yellow, the bottom was Bright Silver, and the top was Reading Green. I do like how the green came out.

I used Quick Shine as a pre-decal gloss coat, and as a decal setting solution. I'm rather pleased with how it works - very little silvering. Silvering is a problem that has plagued me throughout my modeling journey.

There is a clear piece that goes on the top of the fuselage, just behind the cockpit. While I as attempting to glue it in place, it dropped inside the fuselage and I was unable to get it out. This is why there is a gaping hole there.
