Zach WilsonI love the look of the finish on this, the whole build has a great look to it!
OlivierVery nice model. Just a couple of things if I may. The license plate is wrong as the letter O was never usued for fear of confusion with 0 (zero). And the flapping door windows should have a metal border rather than rubber.
JeroenOf course you may, Olivier, thanks. The license plate makes sense, we have the same here. If only Tamiya would have known about it!

It's easy to fix so next time I have my chrome pen out I'll do that.

An aunt and uncle owned one of these back in the '70's / early '80's and we all just loved riding in it. They had bolted 2 custom made wooden chairs to the floor of the cargo area (yep, you could do that back then) and we went in through the back doors to ride along. For this project, I didn't make the chairs as I wanted to do a relatively quick out of box build. I did try to match the colour. I think it came out nicely. For the license plates I used the ones from Paris that came with the kit to give it that French touch. All paints are Vallejo, brush painted. Some chrome details with Molotow pen. I used satin varnish instead of gloss as I felt it suited the car better. In my memory this thing did definitely not shine.
The kit comes together quite well, though some sprues are less crisply molded than others. The engine is quite nicely detailed, I did add some wires from reference pics to make the engine bay a
