Thanks everyone.

Richard - for the color I'm thinking a flat mint green? I'd like a dark purple too.  Haven't decided.

JC - the wheels come with the repop kit. Tires are from Modelhaus.

Jason -  the coupe top aligns very well with the body. Comes with the trophy series version of the kit  No re-scribing of doors needed.

Love it, with a little finishing of the body seams it wouldn't look out of place in the K2 primer and a little dusting of guide coat to look like a project car that was just being driven to work the bugs out before final paint.

But I do like your dark purple idea, just for a test do yourself a test spoon in the dark purple with bright lime, both in pearls, you might really like it.

Thanks Tony.  The engine is going through some changes to correct the fuel lines.

PB finally uploaded my pics. Here's a bit more.

Polished the grille that I'll be using. You can see the difference there of before and after. Painted black behind it so it stands out hopefully. And a few more mock ups now that the paint is close to being done.

love it !!! paint ...engine ...looks great

mybe n idea for the grille , use the surround from the kit , cut out all the middle untill you only have the outside of the kitgrill , paint that bodycolor and cut the p/e grille to size of the hole and glue that in from behind .. could look awsome ??

 

just a brainfart ....
