thanks Billy;
this time I was looking for the original photos since I found some missing points on the model compared to the original. therefore, wanted to make sure all properly masked up before I start painting the model...

ok guys, here is a quick update from last night and tonights work...

the floor pan of the blue car was in blue and I change it with the white car while the white car's was in black.
so, I had to paint the floor pan as well.



first primed it



then painted with Matt white



then I disassembled the car to mask it.
I will be using the interior from the white car so just exchanged the interior..



masking was one of the toughest part of this build... took me more then 2 hours to finish masking..



I have also painted the outer ring of the air inlet on the hood..



and also the front bumper



I first painted the white parts and then mask once more for the black parts.
I used metallic black...



and moment of truth



the paint job was not the best but turned out ok. did some soft filing in order to level the lines in between the colors..
I also cut out the white lines from the decals to finish the doors

and a quick mock up to see two days of work...



I will try to apply the decals over the weekend and hopefully finish the clear coat to make it ready for assembly.

That's an absolute incredible paint job Omer, wow!

ok guys,
I am back again with some more progress...
all decals finished few minutes ago. only the glass decals remaining which I will apply after I assemble the car..
I have to say that I had a very long decal session and just finished. wovvv so many decals to apply...

big credits to Pete from PJ models for dealing with so many models they have made earlier... it should be a big job applying these decals to 20 or 50 limited models....

anyway, here below some decal progress photos...
I will leave the decals to settle for tonight and then try to clear coat the model to seal the paints and the decals







that's it for now
