I say go for the full period look Warren, with matt black bonnet and the authentic stripes! It seems tyo be the 'in period' now too, the 70s!
I hear the tires are awful on those kits though, and need junking!
There was a 1970 Z28 Camaro in Scale Models that I liked the look of, but it wouldn't go with anything in my collection, so I won't bother!
