Project Black PC (part 8)
Sorry about the dull name.

Remember those blue dials with orange needles?
No? Well go back to page 4 and all will become clear.
 
Orange needles just will not do.
 
This looks about the right shade of green and I remember Tamiya paint covers well.
 
The magnifier is a big help with this sort of job... I do have a magnifier lamp somewhere... Just where is anyone's guess. But this little one did the trick.
The Tamiya paint covered the orange really well. Here I am just holding some black card behind the needle to see how well the green will show up.

Here's the almost finished version of the meter dial and front piece. I scanned the original one then set to in photoshop.
