Loving the progress. I will continue to study your build with great interest!

I want to limit my reply to this topic to an alternative thinner for acrylic paints such as Tamiya it may or may not work well with Model Master acrylic paints? You can get a product called "Acrylic Lacquer Thinner" at an automotive paint supply store which works very well and it is less ecpensive by volume than Tamiya's brand sold for the modeling trade use. I will add a screen shot of the Tamiya website showing their indorsement of their own brand of "lacquer thinner" which is none other than acrylic lacquer thinner...

I've hear of Belgium Blue cattle, but the only thing I found is a car that looked like the blue on the US Flag with a tiny bit of white added

According to Testors MSDS sheet its 50% mineral spirits and 30% naphtha the other 20% n-propoxy propanol plus 1% of another ingredient which you probably only can get in a 55 gallon drum. For me I use 50% mineral spirits, 30% naphtha and 20% lacquer thinner with both Testors and Humbrol enamels. If you have any misgivings about lacquer Thinner try Turpentine or vodka.

I think I would have to contact Stevens International about the missing part you need regardless of the circumstances. Be sure to let us all know what happens...
