Unfortunately, the box illustration isn't worth a toot. Looks somewhere between Insignia Yellow and Chrome Yellow to me. Future will give it a proper gloss look. Anyway, that's what I'll go with unless I can find a pic that clearly shows a metallic gold color beneath a transparent yellow top coat.
Looks like half the chrome will have to be stripped with bleach and repainted with a metalizer. If I get up the nerve I'll mask the edge of the decal on the front "wing" and properly create the fade effect with the red. The decal doesn't do it justice here. Hmmm.... Otherwise, decals look good.
Cool looking kit--molding looks good. Flash on the corner of one tree, but no biggy. I would prefer the driver in a seated position so I could put him in the seat. Maybe I'll preform a little surgery.....
I haven't built one of these before. What do you glue the slick halves together with? Styrene cement, epoxy or super glue?
