I've never seen a Wix but it looks nice from Swede's picx. I doubt I'll ever see one for $10 or anything close to it. The low price was the main reason I bought the Welly. As you can see I already have a Cobra on my shelf and didn't really NEED another one but I find it hard to walk away from a good-looking bargain. 

Probably not for $10.   But certainly within reason for cost of a new plastic kit.    I look at many of my diecast purchases in that light.  I try to buy them for what I'd have to spend for a plastic kit.  And yeah, I had TWO cobra kits built and have a third Fujimi started.   Buth the WIX blew them all away for a blue with white stripe version.  I sold the builts and will sell the Fujimi at some point.  I think the Revellograms are better than the Fujimi in terms of realism and texturing of parts.  And my wife loves the WIX and diecasts.   Her birthday is 4/27/65 and her last name initials are S/C so a 65 Cobra S/C 427 is fun to her.  And she's curvy like a Cobra,.. oops TMI??  LOL

Interesting. I'm looking for that "brushed," hand-sanded look. Got a couple different ideas on how to do it. 

How about using one of those "Air Eraser" sand blasting air brushes?  Use it to strip the paint then light touches to get the brushing effect.

Came out great.
