I’m pretty sure I used Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red for all of them straight from the can. The Modena probably looks different because it was a bad paint job - didn’t really know what I was doing back then lol.
Looks great! I must say I like this metallic blue better than the original solid blue you had. Is this the Revell kit? I’m having similar soft top fit issues with a Revell BMW convertible right now.. warped beyond repair
