Finally, I got another build finished today.  Paint is Model Master Dark Bronze Metallic.  Had to adjust the rear suspension to get the tires lined up in the wheelwells, and spaced them out a bit too as the rear track is really narrow oob. Speaking of tires, they are AMT pad-printed units.  All in all a really good kit, though I did have some issues with the front valence/grille fit and a little with the hood as well.

Great build, Tony. Love that color. I'm really impressed with the overall appearance of the engine compartment. It's extremely realistic. One question. Did you paint the engine block separately from the rocker arm covers, or did you have the covers on the block when you painted?

Wow!  This post will be saved as a build "...to inspire exceptional, clean and well-detailed building and the results that can be achieved."  I'll look at this one often to motivate myself to hopefully, one day, be able to build a 1/25 model like this!

Thanks a bunch guys.

The nose seems a skosh high but that's a magnificent build overall.

(insert "thumbs up" emoticon here)

:D

I agree, it's a little bit higher than I'd like but I just went with it.  I guess the owner cranked the torsion bars Lol.

I assembled everything that needed to be turqouise, then painted it all as one unit.
