More updates. All is left are door handle tail light (will be done last after decals), and rear bumpers pieces before decals are applied. But first, I need to buy clear decal paper on blue backing. White decal on white paper I have isn't going to work.
Chassis to body before tires installed....
She's got tires and lenses on!! Check out the blue line slicks that came with the kit. I was going to use one of the stock grills and decided to go with the Gasser type. It is not painted and I'm liking the color of the mold the kit came as. Kinda gives it a little pop from the Magenta and silver.
With hood off..
The kit came with a little bonus pre-cut cardboard sheet you fold into a replica of the kit box to display with the model. Worked on that this past weekend.

Now Pink is not a color that comes to mind for this sort of car... but it works! Looking good there Tom.

Great color choice on that car Tom. I do like the molded color for the grille insert as well. Gives it some contrast.
I'm also a fan of those little boxes that come with the kits. I've got a 1/25 scale little box of a Freightliner that I'll probably fold up and put in my shop dio.

Not to sound greedy, but does anyone have a spare sheet of clear decal paper? I need a sheet for use with inkjet printer. Something like this:

I have some laser paper in clear. Is it something I could print?
