Just finished putting together this plastic Polane painted 302, I've never been crazy about yellow telephones, but I decided to see how a 302 would look in yellow, it's not as cool looking as a blue 302, but I think it makes the phone perfect for a bright sunny room.

Wow, this phone surprised me. I never thought a yellow 302 would look good, but this one certainly does. Nice job!
It's definitely a much more subtle and acceptable yellow than the typical British Telecom yellow from the 1980s, like my linesman phone, or this 8100R "Ambassador" below... ;D
I Love It.

Scot, this is outstanding work! What really makes it for me is the yellow masked card on the dial. You did a great job.
Do you mind revealing what this was before it was painted? I think I see a groove on the handset, but it's very faint. The cords--are they from OPW? The color is perfect and your pictures show the phone off well too. If parts were more available, you could sell these.
Scot....another winner....take a picture of all of the 302 colors together,,,great job,,,,Doug
Thank you everyone, The shell was in bad shape, I will not paint a shell that is in good shape, the polane paint hides a lot of the defects on a bad shell, the handset is just a regular f1, and yes the cords are from OPW (I waited 2 months for the cords).
Below is a 202 I just finished, now got to find a subset.....again thanks everyone for the kind words.
Scot
That's a stunning blue 202.. It would look fantastic with a blue subset or a nicely painted black/wood.
