Finished it couple a days ago. Messed with hood, so should repaint it. Headlights are chrome and covered by PVA glue to keep dim look of reflectors. Varnish looks satin - probably flow was too low. Hope to improve my skills at the next build. Side decals are strange a bit. Filed tires with drill to make them dusty. Washed bottom to make it not so clean

Looks great. Looks like most red cars over ten years old where the paint has faded with age. I had a red Ford Fiesta years ago, it faded so bad it went past pink and eventually turned grey!

Not as bas as a red Ford Festiva :D

I had to search that one. wow, it looks like a Nissan. I can't believe Ford put their badge on that.

Yeah, color tint really looks a bit light and burned by sun. For the next time probably should choose something on the bright side. Mud on the bottom strangely interfere with red background. In reality, it should be black rust-stop coverage and intense dry pigmenting and minor tears. Scratches on front bumper taken from real car - couple a years ago dad took my car to go to village house and tried to skip some obstacle between wheels on road - resulting in broken HVAC radiator, bent bar under main radiator and full set of deep scratches on bumper bottom.
