Yes indeed I've learned the hard way that their gloss white takes rather longer to fully harden than the matts. A couple of days rather than an hour.

Yep, I would say a very attractive shade of red, one of my favourites...

Re: Jim's Fe-raar-ay
Well, I must say I am glad this is done with, I didn't get all the twists out of the body shell, a little too many twists in more than one direction for my ability to fix. Which led to fit problems and the stress cracks in the windscreen ah well, I should have gone with the Tamiya Testarossa I have in "The Stash", but still quite an enjoyable build, and I certainly would do another car.
I certainly have more respect for what the vehicle model builders create. You have to be so precise and clean, not for my slap dash methods
The photos flatter it a bit.
This side shows I lost a little silver Pinnaferina decal, probably stuck to my finger...
Thanks very much for chauffeuring us along James, it's been a fun build.
Cheers
Jim

That's looks very impressive Jim and even more so considering where you started from. I love the colour and really glad you saw it through to the end despite the the birdstrike.
