Nice model, very cleanly built (as I would expect from you)... but I have to go against the crowd on one issue. I don't get the "weathering," it doesn't look realistic to me. Was it a red Beetle that somehow has started to turn black? How would that be possible? And why would the "weathering" end precisely at the side chrome strip?
Doesn't seem to be a very realistic "weathering" pattern to me. Sorry, but I hafta call it like I see it.
