Looks like a good clean build but the paint doesnt seem to have gone on too well on the wheel centres - did u brush it on?

Yes I brush it on with Humbrol Orenge Clear... But picture show inperfection, but in real, rims look really great and the front whel (on the first picture) is whell painted.. don't know why on the picture it look like that... maybe a bad reflect Look the last picture of the rims, they are all 4 like that (litle inperfection, but you need to really look close !)

Looks very good, but i think you forgot the panel lines.

but besides that like chris said, looks very clean.

cheers

panel lines ?? I didn't make them on my Mini Cooper, but here there is no panel line to make ?

Looks nice - well done. You did a great job with the decals.

Wouldn't it have been better to use Gold paint ???

Nice looking job on the kit...well done

No i try on the chromed sprue, and my gold paint didn't make a good look on the rims. But Orenge clear does look kinda nice.. at least i like it

The gold paint probably didn't have anything to stick to on the chrome finish, next time you might try stripping the chrome or sanding it to give the paint something to bite into

Great job, it was only what, one or two weeks ago when you were asking us whether to make it silver or white?

That was 1 week max

Took me 3 day to paint / clear and decal. (Acrylic paint dry very fast, that alow me to put 2 coats of paint and a clear the same day, then leeve it dry 48hours)
