try'd for the "box art" look, paint is water based gold over flat white, had a real job with the tail light led's, had to shave away plastic till it was wafer thin and mount a row of led's along so they'd shine through the chrome fins.
(should have painted the inside of the trunk lit matt black as the lights are a bit strong) ;D

popeye,
You did a GREAT job on this BOX ART build. As said above , you nailed the color spot on.
You clean assembly and nice paint work , make this a stand out model. NOT to mention, the LED setup.
GREAT WORK!
Thanks for posting it here for us to ENJOY!
