This is a brilliant resurrection of a started kit. Nicely done and those rear taillights look fantastic!

I used the Molotow pen on the chrome trim, and painted the rear panel black:

I'm waiting on something to come in the mail, so I can address the white hood.
Hopefully, in a couple days, I can call this one finished.

Finished the engine. I didn't wire it up. Just doing a simple, shelf-sitter build:

Bucky,is the darker blue in the recesses a wash or just how the blue itself has collected? It looks good however it's been done

I thought it looked pretty good, so I didn't strip it.

I got this carbon fiber decal material to use on the hood/bonnet of this little 240Z:

It was a little tricky laying it down on this hood. It's not Ed Zachary flat! It took a good bit of
Micro Set and Micro Sol!

It looks a bit brownish, due to the pattern being black and bronze on the decal.

These are the final pics of this little red rice rocket:

This is my first completed build of 2019! I hope it hasn't been boring to yuze gize!!
Thanks for following along!
