Looking good.

I tend to use acrylic paints all the time now, the drying time is much quicker and you can speed it up using the wife's hair dryer.

Your yellow & red has come out good, nice bright and solid.

Wish I had thought of that when she had a hair dryer, but she sold the Polo and bought a Golf instead :mrgreen:

Good choice of colour scheme there Tim.

Finished with half an hour to spare. :)

A quick coat of Revell matt varnish and there you have it.

A nice kit and not too much filler, what more do you want. I'll put some pics in the Gallery later. Now I'm of to peel some spuds and make a sponge pudding.

I don't think the sponge will rise if you use spuds.

Congratulations on the build, it looks great.
