Hi Steeve!

Great work, your patience paid-off! I'm impressed by what seems a perfect windshield shading effect... Airbrush?

Yup. Tamiya acrylic through an airbrush

I knew I wanted to use those wheels on the car even before I had a color picked. I really like them but they sure are hard to get.

I can't say that I really like the wheels either, but they're a hell of a lot better than most of the modern chrome wheels that you see!

 

Very nice work Steve!
