It's still faintly visible; I shot the model in decanted Tamiya paint, though the last couple wet coats were from the spray can. It shrinks enough that you can barely see the mesh. Let's hope Revell is smarter about these details. The rear end was difficult enough on this thing to mask/paint, much less worry over filling the weak engraving w/too much paint.
