Mine looks fine. I spray them black, then pick out the pipes and such in
metal. I then
mix a grey from black and white (don't make it too bright). This is addet
to all the edges
and close to the edges of the smooth areas. The guns are then paintet
orange-red on a
 white base coat. The look a lot like the ones in WD 214 pg.53 (top) apart
from the
markings. Once you've done a few, it gets quite easy and fast. The tough
part is mixing
the correct shade of grey.
You say you can't get all the details out. Maby you use too much base-coat.
Best to spray them
lightly and then paint them with a thined-down black.
