Just a quick build inbetween projects that I finished recently. Built OOB except for plug wiring and photoetched grill and scripts. Cutting out the plastic grill damaged the chrome surround :( , so this was smoothed and replaced with BMF. The rest of the BMF took a couple of nights to apply :mellow:

Paint is Tamiya as usual, Cobalt green, pearl white and, er, black. Thanks for looking. And no, the steering wheel isn't as high as it appears in the pics!

That tri-tone paint is a real looker! Looks like you did some work to the bumper mounting as it doesn't have that "battering ram" look to it like other builds I have seen. ;)

Very nice job!
