Hello Fellow Modelers!

I am almost done with my Tijuana Taxi, I literally have 3 more pieces to put on.  But before I can finish, I was hoping to get a little feedback from you.  It's concerning the yellow taxi sign on the roof, currently I have it yellow outlined with white.  I have a "Taxi" decal to apply to it.  But, I am not completely sold on it being yellow like that.  I do admit, it's growing on me.  At first I had it red but I thought that was too dark.  And I thought about the body color orange but not sure about that as well.  So I will ask all of you, yellow?  Or something else!

Thanks for the feedback!

The sign looks fine! Apply the decal and be done with it!

Overall you did a very nice job on this classic kit!  The car is orange, so I wouldn’t fret about not painting it yellow. 

The only comments I can make, would be to add some dark tone on the inside of the exhaust tubes to simulate depth.  And black wash the springs to offset the chrome spring.

 I would go with the yellow sign, the sign on the door is yellow with black lettering so I think the sign should be also. Model looks great by the way. My 2 cents.

I’d go with the yellow, the traditional hack colour. The side graphic is on yellow and the plate... by the way looks pretty good! You’ve done a great job on all the detailed painting. ?

Thanks for the feedback and kind words!  This car is one of my better builds!

And Yellow it is!  Thanks for the help and I will finish this and post it in the "Under Glass" section!
