As promised... updated photos since I've been busy the last couple nights....
Chassis...
I went with the usual Walnut color for the frame. Steel Red on rear and front axle and cross supports. Titanium silver on springs and rear drag support. Yellow shocks
Interior... satin black and aluminum floor, titanium silver on the roll cage (not glued to interior)
Instrument panel for dash.... flat black, gloss black dials and Molotov chrome and frames
Between the two of you, you are seriously planting the bug for me to build some sort of... car...

It was this Formula1 car....
Handbrushed with those white handle Testor brushes and polished the paints... Testors Aluminum And Gun Metal. Built straight out of box...

Now that looks sharp!! Having never done a Indy car kit before but would love to try my hand on one. I know Tamiya has quite a collection of Formula 1 kits out there as well as rally types.
