Morning all. :smiling3:

After a bit of a fight with the paint I'm calling this one done. Not sure if it's me, or black is just difficult to get right, but really struggled with this one and have had to call it "good enough".

From what I am told by all the guys at Sunseekers. Black is the colour they dread most as it’s the most difficult to get spot on. You look to have done a damn fine job to me.

Agreed, black is the worst in scale or 1:1 however your rendition looks very very good to me. I really like this build especially the engine bay and the clear blue fuse? box cover - very realistic.

Great build, and as for the black, I think you have nailed it, I see models where the gloss coat looks so unreal, this finish on yours has just the right amount of gloss/shine.

Very nice the wiring is outstanding as well as the safety labels you added.
