Pete, I'm new here, absolutely beautiful build. I just bought a finished example from Germany, probably many years ago, also black but not very well done plus very dusty. However, I have a question about the front driving lights. They weren't adhered on mine. How do you get them so realistic? Do you paint the backside of the light, or the section you adhere to on the car itself? What are those color codes? It looks so realistic finished on yours. Any help appreciated.

Hi Sam - thanks very much for your kind words. I'm pretty sure I answered your question on another forum, but in case you didn't see it, I used: Tamiya x27 clear red & x26 clear orange on the back of the lenses; Molotow chrome marker pen on the light recesses; permanent black marker on the lens edges; the lenses were glued in with clear acrylic varnish - any will work, I used Vallejo. I think I detailed the process in my Porsche build thread here - if you can find it! Best of luck. Cheers
