Detailing lenses on chromed lights
« on: November 01, 2020, 12:58:20 pm »
Replicating taillight and headlight lenses on parts that are already chromed can be frustrating. The most accurate way of solving the problem is by drilling out the lens area and replacing them with translucent units from the parts box or with scratch built lenses made from translucent sprue.  An easier way to depict taillight lenses is to paint the lens area of the chrome part with several coats of clear red paint.
