Your B188 is looking really nice! I have painted mine about six years ago and never assembled it. I used Park Green and it looked fine.

After many days of masking and painting the body of the car is almost finished.
The front session was much harder than the engine cover and I had to use some maskol to get perfect protection for the paint not to go under the masking tape.
The photos show the overall paint scheme of this beautiful model.

I will continue now to sand and correct the body to make it as perfect as possible and will start to build the cockpit.
New update photos soon.

Body Colours:
Italian Red / Red - TS-8 / X-7
Yellow / Lemon Yellow - TS-16 / X-8
Light Blue / Sky Blue - TS-23 / X-14
Park Green - TS-35 / X-28

Some more progress pictures.
Almost all hard work is done.
Need only to do some painting repairs in the air entrances/radiators.
Engine cover is done with all the decals and waiting a couple of days for the clear coat.
Probably today I’ll start to apply some of the decals no the front section.

That thing is so nice I would almost trade my Lancia 037 for it. I really am going to have to build my own. Fantastic job.

Here's mine, it's been painted for six years! You think I should finish it, or let the paint dry six more?

Good job.

I dunno, the paint might be dry enough to polish now.

Go ahead, finish it
