Nice SW, did you make that front bumper yourself?

I opened out the front bumper, and made the two upright bits inside the air intake from sheet styrene. The chin spoiler is actually made from the rear spoiler. I chopped off the two ends, sanded them to shape and used tamiya putty to mold them into the body. Side skirts are sheet styrene and putty. I also extended the rear bumper downwards a little to make the rear look lower.

Oh.. and it's painted tamiya italian red

That front kit is hot !!!...excellant looking work on it.

For the seats...it would look better to go with a Matt finish instead of a gloss.

I would suggest a satin finish if you are trying to get the look of leather seats which i assume is what u are doing?

I'm always torn about the black trim. In your case, I think I would leave it off...

Holy guacamole!!! That's UN-polished!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

That looks great, man. Nice rollers, too. :cool:

You're thinking maybe a pinstripe down the red? I'd vote 'no.' Leave that gorgeous pure red devil alone!!! :devil:

Thanks for the positive feedback guys :)
The model wasn't really that shiny in real life... but funky lighting and a not-so-good digicam helps fake it :evillaugh :evillaugh
Anyway, I polished the car yesterday with good results and it's nice and shiny now. Major balls-up however as I cracked the paintwork on the windsheild frame because the plastic there is really flimsy and I pressed too hard. Wot a schoolboy mistake to make. Time for some touch up :( :(
