Almost finished.

Just missing some small detail parts, decals, paint touch-up and a light polishing.

Ayup Jesper...

WOW ! That looks Awesome. and the colour spot on. I can Imagine James Mason stepping out of that in one of his films. With Grace Kelly in the Passenger seat...

Thanks’ to all of you!  

But it really isn’t my doing the car is beautiful from the start, and the kit is nice and detailed.
All I have done is putting it together and given it two layers of brushed on HR135 and a cote of clear from a spray can.
But I must admit; I think the colour is perfect.  

I haven’t worked on it today, since the glue used on the chrome parts needs to set properly.

-Jesper.

Ta Da:  Finished before deadline! I nearly think it is a first for me.  



I will post more pictures when I have better light; preferable sunlight and a soft flash.
I can only recommend this kit, and I don’t think I will hesitate to buy one more, if I see it in a shop.

A round-up of the kit and build will follow with more pictures soon.

-Jesper.

Lovely! Cars aren't really my thing, but that is gorgeous and if I thought I could do half as good a job as you, I'd be tempted to get one myself.

And congratulations on the early finish
