... no they are waterslide . Just soak in water for 5 seconds , then slide into position - easy ! btw , if you go to the model show , you can buy some Humbrol size tins of First paint (grey , pink and blue) at £2 each. They're £2.25 now on Mirror Image models website. They were £2 when I bought mine I think? I seem to remember the P&P been quite expensive when I got mine though. |

Just got to do the lower panels then stickers, The First grey is far from white though. It is apparent when you apply a white primer and then the grey on top. It doesn't even cover in one coat fully! |

First bus livery is definately pale grey !
I have a test patch of the proper First paintshade on a piece of white plastic , and you can see the difference . I will show you on Sat !
The white you see on First buses must be primer/undercoat ?
Can i ask what paint are you using ?

gloss white no laquer needs a few touch ups before i apply the blue and pink. the enamel reacted so i had to sand it off. every first bus ive looked at its a different colour it was either a satin white or grey like the b7rle's. I think the buses are grey white from new but fade to white. Im not bothered as long as its near the first babie.
