Revell kit. I added piping on the dash, door panels and around the inserts on the seats as well as plug wires, fuel lines and flocking for carpet. I also sanded the back off of the solid grill inserts and made real grills from 030 wire.
DupliColor paint and clear exterior and ModelMasters paint on the interior.

Thanks guys. It's a very well engineered kit. I had no issues. I did lower the suspension 2.5 mm in the front and 3 mm in the back. And its design lent itself to those modifications nicely.

Nice model. Not a color I would have chosen for such a flashy car, but it is not my model.  What you did with the grilles really makes a big visual difference.

Nicely done. I have this one in my stash, would love to actually build some of these mid-century European cars because the designs are so classic.

Nice job adding subtle upgrades to the nice kit. Especially like the paint detailing on the chassis.

Probably not a color I would have chosen on the real car myself but the dark gray metallic was a very popular color for this car back in the day. Black, white and silver were the other popular colors. It's a European's Shelby Cobra. The muscle is understated and the refinement and class are more showcased. Not so much flashy as elegant.
