Thanks McCreed, appreciate the advice!

I think the original Lake Placid Blue was covered in a nitro clear (I said poly...) which added a slight yellowing to the LPB leaving it with a slight green tinge. Do you know if there is clear that I could use that might have a similar effect that would work with the SCA paint?

The kit arrived this afternoon, unboxing was exciting.

Couple of minor issues I came across:

1) The neck appears to have the head stock alread cut - Not blank as expected.

2) The pickgaurd isn't as clean along the edges as I expected, but thats fine I guess as I was going to cut a diffent colour anyway.

I had a query about the neck pocket - I tried to get a photo of the neck and body interface, but it was a little challenging. How close should the radius on the bottom of the neck match the body?

The neck in this kit looks to be sitting on the corners only - Is this normal?

Cheers,
