I decided to paint the 4 tread strips on the front off side wing silver too match the actual WLT857 routemaster bus as many had them painted silver see attached pics i know my mod isn't the best paint job my hands aren't that steady i should've painted them whilst they were still attached to the sprue but hey ho i don't think they look to bad
