Re: Seat Cordoba 1999 Sanremo

[quote=stevenoble]Very nice result.Which yellow did you use for the body..?? I think when I built mine a while back I used a Ford colour, or was it a Fiat colour.?? Not sure, but it always looked a little too yellow, yours looks richer in tone, hard to describe but a bit more golden/chrome yellow, more like the real one I think.

Steve, I used a Ford colour - 'Golden Wattle' as a base and then Tamiya Yellow TS16 over the top. Since the Tamiya yellows are so thin, I have been using automotive yellows as a base (just pick the closest one to what I want as the finished colour). Therefore the golden tone from the Ford yellow shows through.

Looking at Mikezibit's photo, that Cordoba is a brighter yellow than other Cordoba shots I have seen.
