7mm

4mm/P4
The finished P4 model exudes an oily sheen, achieved by spraying much-diluted Metalcote Gunmetal from half and inch away - the further the spraying distance, the flatter the finish. Note the oil seepage on the bodyside panels and along the footplate, the grubby handrails and the scruff marks around the steps. Details such as this take seconds to apply but make a word of difference to the appearance. I fancy I can hear the throb of the eight-cylinder Gardner engine and the hiss of brakes being released.
