Thanks guys. This one is rather quick build. It was satisfying to finish something fast.

It's actually a black chrome (Tamiya's instructions are wrong here...calling for chrome). Same for the top edge of the windshield frame, and the window trim running along the A-pillar.

You are absolutely correct on this one, the paint isn't accurate nor the kit instruction. There are more of inaccurate details; no AMG body kit, no hard top (never painted one), and also if you guys have never noticed it, I have not attached the rear view mirror! The rear view mirror part is still on my desk waiting for me to glue it to the car.

Yeah, it bothered me a little bit too after putting one there. I did try to make it somewhat oval, but it never looked right... But the original pipes weren't good either, they were bent pointing downwards.... I don't like that.
