Re: Post Your Latest DIECAST Purchase

Re: Model Wax to improve the colour and looks of your models
When using a Dremel rotory tool for polishing be sure it’s the variable speed type tool and use ONLY slow to medium slow speed settings to keep from burning the paint , finish buffing your model with a small swatch of micro fiber cloth..and Qtips for those reeeally tight spots, lol
