this is a really nice kit. So pleased to see separate door handles, wipers and clear headlight lenses. Good fit on all parts except the clear plastic windscreen for some reason.

Good model, good looking car....always love to see convertible top options AND blackwalls!  Whitewalls were NOT as prevalent as many restorers would like us to believe.

Geoff, what kind of paint do you use?

@chav Chav we only have Tamiya spray available here as a dedicated polystyrene paint. Krylon has very limited availability. I've used this Krylon plastic paint, it doesnt say it isn't suitable for polystyrene, and it doesnt say it is. Subsequently I'm judicious where I use it, although it is the light interior grey on this model.  I actually do have an old metal spray bottle but no longer have a compressor, so its the commercially available sprays for now.
