Turbo cooper S progress

Ok, here we go.
Been on this model for about 2 months now as I was on tour for 3 weeks, but now I'm back in action.
currently the body has had it's final coat and the bonnet is one coat away from done. The engine is good to go, so it's just a case of fitting it and detailing now.
Enough yap, here's the pics.

And here is the final coat as of lastnight.
The camera dos'nt do it justice, it's acutally tamiya's TS-49 bright red and I am about to paint the roof pure white.
So far I am happy with the kit, typical of tamiya's high standard.

I had issues gettin the shell over the top of the engine, resulting in breaking off the spark leads :swear:
You're probably wondering why the firewall is painted silver, well I tried to put some alloy foil on there to act as a heat sheild, but it gave me greif, so I just painted it. :frown:
I'm only learning, :cool:
