it going yellow always tricky to paintI just bought the same kit.... I doubt there will be any problems but you go first so i can watch
Good luck, i hate yellow cos its so tricky
No idea what mine will be..... Today i saw a hyundai i10 in a limey green metallic that i thought was quite nice........ Or orange maybe lol
Well not too shabby 
Which kit is that please Kaci? Looks a peach.
italeri 1/12 scale lancia stratos
Thanks.
I have the 1/24 Tamiya to build but obviously it's nowhere near as detailed as that!

its a very complex kit engine has masses of detail there is a build thread on it
i also built 2 italeri 1/12 lancia deltas
I've just had a look through your Stratos build. Looks like a great kit, built very nicely!
a lot of fiddly bits but worth the money tbh
the yellow has dried nicely i used revell yellow as is what i had in stock lol over mr surfacer 1500 grey and tamiya black panel line
still to do window surrounds once paint cured
i need to add now paint has basically cured no top coat required as has turned out high gloss i'm actually impressed by revells gloss yellow
Window surrounds done courtesy of tamiya semi gloss black paint marker. Had to import this as tamiya paint markers apparently not allowed in UK for some reason due to it's contents
i need to say the rear lights are a bit of a sod to paint and no painting masks for the glazing soooo a steady hand required

All subassemblies painted 
Engine complete. Bit disappointed as box art shows more details but I suppose it's of its age
