Haven't build one of these yet but I see one built on Facebook so now that I seen how it can look decided I'm going to tackle mine. Going to leave the body alone no clear no paint it's the only way it's going to glow. But the rest of the kits going to be painted and I will wire and plumb the engine.  |

I wonder if you could use like a translucent orange maybe? Would it still glow?
Anxious to see what you think of this, I have not bought one, I think i haven't anyways, but do plan to

Excellent work by the way!! lol I don't blame you I already have 2 but I just might try and get a couple more plus a few more regular general Lee's with all the drama around that issue I see them going sky high on the prices I've already seen it's started on ebay |

Yeah - with all that flag stinky the prices did spike for those kits.  But they are starting to settle back down again. I figure in a few more months, the flag stinky will have been forgotten and the prices will come back to normal.
I almost listed some of what I do have just to capitalize on the flag stinky, but I just cannot let go of me plastic, I love me plastic soooo much! egyptian |

You can still find the big scale on at hobby lobby and use the coupon. Their prices didn't go up.
Mike have you thought of getting glow in the dark orange paint? It would look great day and night.
