Although I'm (very) British, I rarely venture away from American muscle cars and/or NASCAR stockers when I build cars.
There are two exceptions:
The Ferrari 250 SWB, just about to be re-released by Revell and is already on my Christmas list and the Mercedes 300SL. I had no idea that Tamiya were releasing this kit so I'm very keen to follow this one through. I think a cream or ivory white with red interior is a really good call, but then so would straight black and a red interior. Whatever you decide George, I'm sure it will look fantastic.
