for the body color I opted for the greenish Metallic Silver, which is the mixture of 3 equal parts of three different colors, and the proportion according to the manual is 1: X-11 (Chrome silver), 1: X-24 (Clear Yellow) and 1: X-25 (Clear Green)

the tri-color rear lights, the center part is painted with clear red too, but painted in black in the rear part to make dark aspect

Last night I decided to paint the chassis, it was easy according to the manual, it's basically flat black with some aluminum parts, I even opened a small poetic license and made a red and sports anti-torsion bar

Sorry, now I see, there is a missing "and" in my comment.. "interior and body".

after your interest in the chassis I decided to paint it last night, it was easy because according to the manual it is basically black with some aluminum parts, I even opened a small poetic license and made a red and sports anti-torsion bar

a "not-attention-taken" model - i like modelkits building (or see builds) away from the mainstream. Looks good so far.
Have you painted clearcoat?

Rafael Lang
I also like the most discreet! not yet, I intend to apply the clearcoat today!

Very cool! I like model kits, who are rar to find and are already built! Well done so far. Pretty good to have such good reference pictures and the comparison of the kits Parts with them. Like it!
