Looks good! I was under the impression that the orange had changed to a kind of "blood-orange" but, on my monitor,your shots make it look an awful lot like the construction pumpkin XO-1 paint formula, that was supposedly lost for eternity. Beautiful. Paul cockpit is a nice touch. I too hope she appreciates it, because I'm still feeling guilty about goading you into getting this. You're right, though - definitely needs bigger tires. Let us know how she likes it.
