So for Christmas I got a model ford bronco, and now I'm deciding what color to make it. Currently my favorite is this orange color that makes it look like the bronco in the RHCP By The Way music video. Anybody else got any ideas?

Wish I had the talent to copy the box art!

I have very little talent for painting myself, but, with painters tape (get the widest you can. I usually get the 1.89 inch wide one), literally anything is possible, and, those designs aren't that hard to pull off. Just use the tape to cover where you need it. A trick I use is to use tracing paper and copy the box art, then, cut it out about 2 inches above where the lighter color is, then tape the tracing paper to the body where you need it (cut the tape to match the design, then lay the tape exactly where you need it). Make sure you cover the entire piece of tracing paper though, or the paint might soak through, then, once it's done, just cover over what you already painted with the painters tape and do the next color. Even if the box art isn't to scale, tracing paper can still be used to get the design close. I almost forgot, trace the design on tracing paper, then, lay the tracing paper over the tape (get the widest you can), copy the design on the tape, cut it out, then put the tape on the body where it needs to go. It's time consuming somewhat, but it works. And, if you use acrylic, and don't like it, much easier to redo.

Edit: I just realized that kit comes in white, at least, the blue one does, which makes it a little easier to copy the design, unless you don't like the look of the stock white plastic.
