Great restoration!

I had a Striker when I was a kid - this brings back memories :)

Awesome job mate :y: great details, especially on the driver :cheer: are you going to do the lettering on the tyres? :)
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem mate :)

No, sadly I'll not do the lettering on the tires. Sadly because I like it a lot but in my previous experiences the white paint did become yellowish or flake off the rubber.

If you use a good quality enamel it will hold it's colour nicely ;) you know how good it looks :)

I have used Tamiya PC (Polycarbonate paints) to detail wheel text, and it works good.
PC paint is quite flexible, and the color stays white at least for years.

I did a short article on this, HERE .
