Nice build, the red is smashing. It looks really small what scale is it?

Nice clean build.
If you give the panel lines a wash, you will give it more depth.

Hi Jesper,

I've considered doing that on my car builds but I just haven't decided what color/shade to use? Any suggestions? Perhaps a dark grey on the darker colors and a light/medium on the lighter ones?

Nice work Mike the paint looks great nice and smooth a good clean build, it looks like Revell did a good job on this kit. I agree with Jesper a wash in the panels lines will look good it should add some depth i would use a very dark red.

I put a wash of thinned translucent dark gray acrylic in the panel lines

The wash definitely makes a difference. Excellent.
