Captainbob,

Many thanks for your reply, much appreciated.

Co-incidentally, a 'pack' of Metal-Kote arrived today...I bought it from a friend who felt intimidated by the process, after buying the stuff!

I must admit, you don't get much for a lot of money but then, having seen Ian Richardson's fantastic F-100, it's worth every penny...if I can apply it properly!! (See a picture of Ian's F-100 at http://www.ukjets.demon.co.uk go to gallery and Winter Jets piece.)

Incidentally, my aim is to use my Metal-Kote on a Mick Reeves Lightning model but I might 'trial' it on a DH 108 Swallow that I'm building at the moment.

Thanks again and I'll let you know how it goes!

Cheers,
