What a fantastic build!

I've done a spoon test. All Alclad II; on the left is Steel Base, and on the right is Dark Aluminium, then both with Candy Orange. I've decided to go with the left, not as dark as i was looking for, but I want to go with paints I have in stock at home...

The colour I'm looking for is a kind of deep, dirty orange.

I have been furloghed, and can't work for 3 weeks, not all is lost, I have 2 builds on the go, but they require a lot of scratch building, so I wanted to start something that was quick, not too detailed - so here's the Mazda! box art and sprue shots first

lovely and clean box-art-build!

stunning build!

This was yet another painful build, the decals caused me a headache, but got there in the end, and Im happy with the results. the WIP is here: comments welcome!

thanks guys, appreciate the comments!

turned out quite well!

really appreciate the comments! keep building!

beautiful! i like the choice of colours, in keeping with its era!

its a great build of a fantastic car! love it

No relation, but funnily enough, I work for Ford! I like the name Harish! It sounds a bit scottish!

I can't believe orange and blue gave you that colour, but it looks amazing!

I like daily runner builds, and yours it's coming along nicely !

That's a classy ride! Looking good so far...

Beautiful build, that colour does look nice, and suits this car...

This is a strange looking car, the front end is completely out of proportion for the real build. I started it about 6 years ago - in fact at a car Model Forum I think was called Mikes Model Cars, I can't remember! But it was a cheap purchase, cost me a lady, and it was the first kit I started to use teh AB on. cutting a long story short, I messed the body paint up & ended up having to buy a 2nd kit just to finish it! But finish it I did, not the best looking model, but I learned so much building it. The rear looks better than the front, so that's how it's going to sit on the shelf! Comments welcome, and it's Number 2 for finishing this year! already beating last years build count...

If I ever become a bad boy, then this is the car i'd get! great build...

Very unique builds! high quality finish too!

I like the colour combo of this Shelby, great build

It's difficult to call out a favourite with this bunch of 'vettes... they are great!

Its a beautiful build of a strange looking car, theat purple is excellent!

that's a lovely looking caddy

I have a soft spot for the curves of the cobra, and yours is stunning.
