Steve....I saw your post a few days ago and thought that it is a really cool and creative way to use that kit.  The very things that make the kit undesirable on its own - primarily the undersized scale and proportions of the body - are instead used to accentuate the treatment and theme of your model.  I thought "what a cool idea!".  And even if you have what you call a wandering mind, I think the overall treatment of your model lends itself to a very coherent theme and delivery.  "Well done" in my book.  One question i had looking at your project, the side panel flame graphics, which look very cool here - did you paint those ore was it a very skillful use of kit decals, and if it was kit based, which kit? 

Thx for your comments!  Cheers...TIM 

Hello Tim. Thank you for the kind words and for providing motivation, education, and entertainment through your posts and magazine articles. Your work and play are inspirational! The decals are Cool Flames 1:24 1:25 Gofer Racing Decals 11081 Model Car applied over Tamiya Deep Blue, which was applied over Silver Leaf and under two coats of Clear Blue. Thanks for looking. Have you seen several of my other attempts (posts)? Thanks again!
