Wasn't happy with the "light blue" the kit called for. Bought some Testors blue metal flake, and blended some gloss white in to try and get a closer approximation of the engine color. Also took some liberties with the oil pan. Instead of keeping it blue, I mixed some flat aluminum with some flat brass. Two shots of the intake manifold show the light blue previously used, and the darker custom shade I mixed.

After most of the parts were put together, I ran a black wash over all of it to highlight the textures and give it a "oily/dirty" look. So used to doing that with acrylics, that I forgot that it wants to remove the paint I'm going over. Overall, not too bad for the first model I've touched in 25 years.

Good color choice! I think it doesn't matter wethter it is original paint or not. I never saw one original so it looks pretty good to me. Cool!

fully agree with Christian W, the blue looks truly beautiful

Thanks! A couple of the original paint colors for this car was Lucerne Blue (this one is probably closer to what I have here) and Bermuda Blue which I really wanted but couldn't find anything close. Either way I'm really happy with the end result.
