Thanks for the positive comments.

Somebody asked me if I am basing it on a specific Factory car - it's not meant to be a replica of any particular 904 but will have 'influences' from various individual cars.

As for the actual colour choice, the vast majority of original cars were painted silver &, although I do like some of the other colours seen on 904's (including the Ben Ponn car, Irvine Laidlaw's 'maroon' car,etc) to me the 904 is inextricably linked with the German national racing colour ... silver.

Although the general level of fit/finish of the grp panels was good, as anyone who's familiar with fibreglass bodywork knows, it still takes a lot of work to get it to the painting stage...

After many hours of rubbing down, filling imperfections, more rubbing down, spraying guide coats, etc it was in primer:







- & finally the colour coats & lacqer:











The end results were excellent.

Eventually, some decals, racing number 'roundels' & probably an orange band across the nose & tail will be added - similar to this (later) car photograpphed by Early S member Tim Scott @ Fluid Images:
