A before and after of Abel's restoration
In Response To: Re: Evaluate a Carrera 1153. ()

Or rather an "after and before" because I put the better-looking end result first!

Great result, I think you'll agree. But it also goes to show that the problems with the paint on the registers is pretty much endemic. And the next one shows it can be worse:

The silver ones don't seem to have the problem as badly, but I've only seen two of those so the sample size isn't really comparable.
