A slight variation on the theme. This time one NSR and one Slot.it - but both red Fords.
The NSR P68, in addition to the usual strip down and clean, only needed new tail lights. A visit to the local Hobbycraft store yielded over a thousand self-adhesive coloured 'crystals' for less than £3. A quarter are purple so not much use but the rest make very convincing scale taillights (bright and dark red) and amber indicators, although the latter were not required here. I can't recall where the car came from though!
The Slot.it GT40 was spotted on 'the other forum' and came with a central black stripe. Being vinyl tape it was easily but carefully removed as it had been applied before the glass and grills were installed. Fortunately, although pliable it was quite strong so could be teased out without damaging or having to detach anything other than the engine cover's grill. This is currently taped underneath, to be reinstalled when I've sourced and applied some suitable decals.
