Modding the blue hand of PAM 253 Flyback Regatta


Recommended Posts

The rep of PAM 253 Flyback Regatta has a problem in the centre chrono seconds hand. The blue colour is quite off; it is very dark in comparison with gen colour. Some pictures:

To be honest, to achieve a given blue tone is very difficult and, normally, reps with some parts in blue have this problem. However, in this case, the difference is not acceptable.

The owner of this Regatta sent me a picture of the gen to help me in the modding procedure.

First step was to check if I could do the job. I discovered mixing airbrush colours on a plastic that I could find the correct blue.

So, the movement is removed from the case:

When painting, the lume of the hand will be painted too. Therefore, it is better to remove the lume, and after painting, reluming the hand.

The hand is ready for being painted:

The result seems quite good:

Now, time for reluming:
