DINKY ED STRAKER'S CAR CODE 3 UPDATE

Here's a few photos showing how I'm getting on with my attempt at a Code 3 Ed Straker's car.

Since it was stripped down to bare metal, and rubbed down with some fine sand paper, it's had a couple of coats of grey primer, a couple  of coats of Ford Aztec Bronze metallic, and been given detail with satin finish black and silver trim.

I've masked and sprayed everything, rather than use a brush as I wanted an flat even finish.

I'm still tempted to hand paint the dark parts on the two bonnet and roof intakes, but I'm resisting it as I've seen some results from some photos posted on line which just look like ill defined black blobs .

Once I've decided not to add any more paint detail I'll give it a couple of  coats of lacquer and lastly add the tiny number plates. 

I  may at some point cut the keyless motor down and scratch build a better interior, as although I've sprayed the interior motor cover a tan colour the  moulded seats are too far forward for the fitting  of a seated figure inside.

Out of interest this was what the donor car  looked like, scratched and fairly knocked about.
