    @fiveten, thanks you, Spiros. Simple but practical.
    @chinesegeorge, thanks a lot, George. One of the paint bottles I have, another easy approach.

    Windows and several other parts added to the bodywork. Dry fitted the bodywork on the chassis.

    @chinesegeorge, thank you, George

    @fiveten, thanks a lot, Spiros

    @clipper, thank you, Carl. The color turned out better than I expected. Just two rounds required of this Tamiya rattle can paint.

    @gblair, thanks a lot, George.

    @eb801 thank you, Eric. Just a few more parts, should be possible to finish it before the end of this year.

    Working on the headlights, rear lights and reflectors today.


    For the rear lights, transparent red is required but this was not present among my paint collection. I created some myself by using a 1:1 ratio of red and clear gloss coat. Maybe not a perfect result but it does the job quite well.

    I tip my hat to that transparent red mix, John! 👍 That looks perfect to my eyes. This is going to be a real "looker" when you and your daughter wrap it up! 👏
