Design authenticity and collector interest

It appeals to both; collectors value the period accuracy, while hobby builders enjoy the assembly challenge and finishing work.
Gloss automotive paints in period colours suit the Starlet. Consider light weathering for a lived-in display or a high-gloss finish for show-quality presentation.
Handle by the base or chassis, dust gently with a soft brush, and avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight to preserve paint and decals.
