Hi,
That's come out really nicely. What paint did you use? It suits the car really well.
I've got one of these kits to build - any there any pitfalls I need to look out for.
Cheers,

Base coat of Zero Mica Silver. Black decals applied then a light coat of silver over them to "ghost" them in...
5 or 6 coats of Zero Candy red followed by 5 or 6 coats of Zero 1 pack clear.
Then LOTS and LOTS of polishing!! Zero coarse and medium cutting compound followed by 3M Restorer wax.
The only thing that's gone a bit awry is the candy red - it's actually cracked on the hood UNDER the clear...
Must post some pics of the underside at some point too!
