I've always said if I had stupid amounts of money, this is the car I'd own. An excellent kit, I enjoyed building this one. Painted Tamiya Gun Metal with a Tamiya Maroon interior. The P/E grills are beautiful, but almost too fine to see.

All things considered, though, Tamiya did a great job on the detail of this kit.

Some of the trickier items... The P/E scripts for the engine! Be prepared to go blind trying to see the placement on these, and the frustration of trying to burnish them down.

Hope you like it... Comments and Questions always welcome!

Great build, like that gunmetal it looks "rich". Did you clear coat it or just polish the gunmetal?

Testors Ultra gloss clear over Tamiya Gun Metal. I polished it out with a couple different polishing coumpounds. This is the first time I've had a paint job good enough to skip the whole multi-grit cloth routine.
