The chassis and body are painted with an airbrush.
1. The chassis painted metallic gold on the top side and a flat black on the underside.
2. The chassis re-painted in silver.
3. The engine assembly front view.
4. The front engine and susspernsion assembly.
5. The underside of the chassis with the engine fitted.

OK I made a bit of a cock-up here! Not reading properly, I missed a letter out on the paint chart which meant that the chassis got painted gold when it was supposed to be silver. I have resprayed the rather nice looking gold chassis, silver & will put a picture up as soon as it's out of the spray booth!
