I confess I'm not on Team SIKU yet, Jason. The build qualities from model to model varies widely, and the scale can be funky. Your paint scheme worked really well! The windscreen was a live and learn experience, but you dodged a bullet. I just would like to say, for me, your dialogue with all the facts and figures distracts my mind from fully appreciating your work as you do it! It's almost a two-watch show...once with the sound absorbing your research, and a second time without sound to fully appreciate your hard work!! Best, Stephen❤

Absolutely wonderful. Would love to see more Siku cars on your table. Preferably a Volvo 760 GLE or a Ford Sierra

I cannot believe it is the same model! The color scheme looks great and as far as the windshield is concerned I don't think you had a choice but to sand off the paint as it was thick and resistant to the Detrol and polishing compound. The decals for the wheels are just excellent. Thanks for sharing this tutorial.

Great job Jason. I always wanted a white one having seen one on holiday. Never did get one though. 👍

Nice work, you have to do a fully detailed one next 👍

Top job, especially on the wheels - usually an impossible thing to restore on Sikus. Just a note about your caution using caustic soda on plastic - it actually works very well to get paint off them, but once it's cooled down! I don't really like using it full stop any more as it can react with metal, especially on older toy car parts. Good old paint stripper for me!

Nice job with the refresh 👌 as always, don't like the model itself it's more like a chunky jeep than a open top sports car .

Nice one,Jason.a touch of detailing would have added to it,i.e lights at the rear.don't go a bundle on the wheels on Siku period,even their trucks have Siku wording on them!

interesting shade of green. I like it. ^^ also neat trick on the wheels, but now they don't look as deep-dish anymore as they looked before? I seem to miss something here. :) SIKU seems to have used the very first gen Cabrio, identifiable by the short bumper corners. the first facelift added longer bumper corners, the next facelift brought the wide taillights. but I'd have to research the exact year first. :)

I have found that it is possible with rattle cans to tint a first layer by applying a second colour to a just painted first layer. The second coat is just a quick one pass over the first.
