Hi!
I will blog my build here.
I had this model set for a new hot rod web site that came and went before I had started any major work!
So here is the box/bag photos:-

That's looking sharp Richard. What did you use for the red on the shocks & pulleys? Looks like candy apple red in the photos, cool color whatever it is.

Snuck this one right by me Richard! She looks beautiful, nicely done inside and out. Great color choices, too! Tissue paper on the soft top, or was it molded that way?

Looking forward to the Phaeton

Hi James and thank you!
It was moulded on and I masked off the roof before top main colour was sprayed on.
More photos of the Phaeton will be posted tomorrow, I channeled the body tonight.
