chrome problem
I have a problem with chrome parts that are contained in kits. Because they are molded on trees, when I take one off, I get an uncovered area of plastic. This problem is really bugging me as I'm building a kit molded in yellow. The engine has alot of chrome parts and yellow spots
 I was wondering if any of you had found a solution to this annoying problem. any responce is greatly thanked

Re: chrome problem
I use Bare Metal Foil to cover the bare spot. Just make sure to clean the area so it is even and then apply a small patch of BMF chrome over the spot.
You can also use Testors Silver enamel to touch it up or Tamiya Silver Enamel.

Re: chrome problem
Another solution is to strip the chrome and repaint them with Alclad II chrome lacquer.

Re: chrome problem
+2 on Alclad II
 I really never liked much of the chrome in the kits anyway. It seemed much too "toy-like" or I ended ruining it through the build-up.  I used BMF Chrome for a while, but ever since Alclad II appeared I simply strip the original chrome (oven cleaner or bleach) e re-spray with Alclad. Cheers, Lusitano
