You really knocked this one out of the park. The colour is great, as are the decals and small details. And the wheels fit it so well. That's a gorgeous job there, Rob

And this one. Yes your observation is spot on. They were in the garden all the time and they'd get jammed into the soil. All the paint damage was from throwing them all into one big box unprotected, they'd get carried and moved around, clinking together as they went. At 7 I had no idea what a collectible was.

That body came up shiny before the paint, it would be interesting to see a model in bare metal with just a clear coat. The hard work spent cleaning that up really paid off.

When u were adding primer i kinda thought, at 8:20, OMG that than would be killer in gun metal paint. When u look at it, at 10:40, in my opinion, the gold feels flavourless over that yellow glass. BUT the wheels look cool as hell and i actually need that very set for a Ford Escort RS1800. Maybe highlighting door gaps and such like the F40 would give it extra something?
