Looking great, I think Tamiya Italian Red is the best match.

A little tip for anyone building one of these kits: wrestle the body onto the chassis BEFORE applying decals. Amazingly, with all the handling I did during the wrestling match, only one decal fell victim to my limited spiderman like sticking powers in my fingers ( not quite sticky enough to climb walls, sadly).

George Williams
Good tip.

Nice job mate!
How did you managed to paint the red detail of the front grill?

I've struggeled a lot in my Italeris...

Will you cut the the front bumper vent's stripes? they shouldn't be there.

Yknow, I had noticed the "stripes" with the holes and wondered what was supposed to go on those. If you hadn't mentioned it, it would have completely escaped my attention. I also missed the call out in the instructions to remove the little lights ( or reflectors) on the front fenders and the Lancia shaped bit on the window separator. Goodness! I really should pay closer attention!
I assume you're asking about the red pinstripe on the grill. I painted that entire piece red then put Bare Metal Foil over it and cut along the insides with an Xacto to uncover the red.

Interesting to know about the Bare metal foil... I will look into it.
Thanks, similar I did but with less skills haha.

There are a few 3D printed front grilles out there that have separated all the parts to make painting the 3 different colors easier. The problem I had with the foil is that I can never get that stuff to lay down smoothly.

One thing that bugged me with this kit is how "shallow" the seam lines are. I wasn't able to fill them all in with Panel Line paint.
