I just finished this one on the 4th of July. Salvino's kit with their decals all around, paint is Tamiya TS36 Fluorescent Red for the body and TS 23 Light Blue for the interior. Wheels and window net are TS15 blue.

I have not had much luck painting neons over the years and this one has some flaws but I can live with them, the first time I've actually pulled off a useable neon paint scheme in this scale.

I have to take my model setup down to take photos so I took these at the Hudson Valley Historical Miniatures Guild meeting tonight.

Congratulations Billy. That color really pops and your paint job looks superb.
Did you make any change to the wheel openings or something. Looks really good.

Thank you guys. No modifications to the kit at all, although I do need to scratchbuild window straps for the rear still. Salvinos missed them on the kit.
