I really try not to be too precious about them - this one is a bit of an exception as this is the 3rd time I've painted this to try & get it "right" ...

Progress since the last time - chrome trim done with aluminium tape; window rubbers brush painted, freehand on the sides but front & rear masked with 3M blue vinyl 1/8" tape & needed some bleeds reworking; parts screwed/glued on, genuine mirror & door handle on left side, my fakes on the right; not particularly happy with driver so will repaint more box art (& hopefully better)...
