Hmmm, I'd go with blue. It looks like it would kick light better than the green. David G.

It is a wonderful ship design, your work does it justice. Nicely Done! David G.

I like those old 60's crazy customs. You built a couple of excellent representations there. David G.

Excellent color choice. Nice paintwork. Back in the day we'd call that "Anti-Theft Purple". David G.

Superb detail work! David G.

Should be cool when it's finished. David G.

That's the color I chose for mine when I built it a couple of years back. I used Tamiya TS-22 Light Green which I painted over black primer to give the color some depth. I'm not intending to hijack your thread but here's how it turned out. Keep up the good work on yours. David G.

Quite possibly the best build of this kit that I've seen. Excellent work! David G.

Very cool! David G.

Thank you David. David G.

Good progress so far! David G.

This is beyond cool! Excellent design and execution. David G.

Very cool! I think that this is the first one I've seen built "as advertised". David G.

Excellent paintwork, great color! David G.

Nicely Done! David G.

Time for a quick update. I noticed this during the initial inspection- a casting flaw or some other damage to the drip rail. Though I don't plan this as a top tier build, this is more than I am willing to let pass. I removed the offending bit and replaced it with a fresh piece of strip styrene. Shaped, smoothed, primed and ready for paint. It's not perfect but it's a significant improvement. I also have all the chassis bits painted and in the process of assembly, so I should have more photos soon. Thanks, David G.

Good clean build, nicely detailed. David G.

Beautiful work on that! David G.

You're off to a great start David G.

Nice work on that. David G.

Nice work so far! Love the stance. David G.

Nice and clean, excellent color choice! David G.

Great work on an unusual subject! Nice detail work on the engine, your color choice is great too. David G.

Wow! That is sooooo cool! Very well done! David G.

Sad news indeed about the paint damage. This has happened to almost all of us at one time or another. I have had luck in attempting a repair, other times it required a complete stripping and repaint. Luckily, it's such a small area that repair may work. From your earlier posts, it seems you have some skill with sandpaper. Try masking and sanding the damaged area to blend the edges where the paint was pulled, then respray. I've had to do this a few times and had good results. Aside from that, I wanted to comment on all the fantastic work you've done so far on this project. All the modifications you've made are very well done and will add much to the final appearance of the model. David G.
