Post by: scottyp on June 01, 2006, 02:26 PM: the drop outs need sorting out, as they are a bit chewed up, if it wasnt for that, i would have kept it candy red, i am thinking of going either black or baby blue with it.
cheers scott

Post by: Geordie on June 03, 2006, 12:41 PM: black with gold stickers looks the dogs. i'm on restoring mine at the min and was thinking of going black and gold but was put off because of the risk of annodising expensive nos parts for it. on the bright side i managed to get a nos set of landing gears and nos powerwings for it last night so it's starting to come together at last. :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
