Already so impressed with your 1/43 build, and this Lancia in 1/12 looks so perfect! Shut lines are really tight, which is very diffciult to achieve on these MFH

Congrats!

I use Zero Paints Lancia Beta blue. Steve made it for me after I wrote him via Facebook Zero's page.

Thanks for the info Wim. I based on some reference photos were brake lines are tiny.

Still not sure if my Braided lines are at the correct size or needs slightly bigger ones.
Thanks agian.

You are absolutely right. This is one of the biggest challenges during this build. The fitment of the doors and rear cowl is, at least, very bad.
