Well, this is an older Tamiya kit so the level of detail seen on the newer ones isn't quite there, but it's still a pretty good kit.
The majority of items are painted with Tamiya paints. The frame is flat aluminum as are a few other items. I've darkened and lightened colors to give it a bit more contrast, but it doesn't photograph well. Parts fit has been pretty good so far. I just got done painting the front fender and the wheels Chrysler Engine Red (enamel), which I'm happy to say, went down really nice.
The markings for this bike are the Marlboro #4 or #27. I'll probably do #4.
