hite over red

I'm trying to make a Mack L from Clinton FD in 1/50 scale. I got a problem for painting the white over red, any idea to do it? Or perhaps may I paint the white before and than the red; perhaps hard to do... Patrick.

Yat-Ming Freeport ALF

received the Freeport ALF from Yat-Ming this afternoon from Diecast Direct -- first impression: another winner! Haven't taken it out of the box yet, but it looks nice (not impressed with the plastic hose load, though...).
