nice kit, and a nice daily driver sort of car. Has come up pretty well. I finally thought it was high time I had a go at chroming trim. Used a chrome pen. Took a few goes, using methylated spirits to wipe away mistakes and excess. Used BMF on door handles and side mirror trim. Still getting the hang of it. Plenty of pics of the car online including a couple that had black wheels instead of the majority that used body color, personally much prefer the black wheels.

Geoff, she looks great. Once I figured out the BMF trick, it was off to the races, lol. Now it's easy as can be. It makes a big difference too.😊

@geoff-jowett You'll get better each time. Then you won't know how you built without it, lol.😊

Very nice Geoff.  I so wish that I had the talent and patience to build model kits.  It's never been for me, which when the ready-built promotional models were around and later diecast came around, I was in business.

@georgeschire thanks George, maybe worth a go? I had no idea how mine would turn out after a near 60 year hiatus. And I'm regularly saying I cant believe how my dexterity has improved in my early, mid 70s

@geoff-jowett My dexterity isn't as good as when I was younger, but I still manage, lol. I dont do too bad for an old guy.😁
