Front seat has been moved back as it interfered with the steering wheel which was painted dull aluminium Vallejo 77.717 . I noticed that front bumper is some kind of yellowish chreome silver. So I mixed that colour. Steering column was painted the same colour.

Łukasz , build is pretty straightforward ... I just moved the front seats a bit backwards because they touch the steering wheel. Part 2 & 3 needed a bit of putty .... Also be careful with the headlights ... attaching points are very very small. Otherwise all went smooth, Go for it !!!!!

Album info
Another OOB kit started long time ago that's finished because of confinement. A rather straightforward job. An easy and rather pleasant kit to build.
