I looks nice, Like the used look to it.

It looks right. a lot of what I see are too pristine to be replicas of that era. You've captured it well.

Wow that is nice! Just the way I'm planning to build my Fiat Topolino Altered. You did great job with the weathering, that rust effect works perfectly, and it really has the look that it has been used a lot. I also like the class markings on the body, they look very authentic, how did you do them?

Thanks for all the compliments, I enjoyed this build alot.

W-409 The class markings are done with sign painters One Shot enamel, I mix a sort of off white then dilute it with mineral sprits (to give it the look of shoe polish). The best way to perfect this is practice on a piece of glass till you have the consistency of the paint right. Good brushes are essential also. I am a pinstriper so I had alot of practice with this paint. Acrylic paint might work also.
