Yeah it is a great kit with exceptional details and plenty of options. I paid 29.99 CNDN for mine at michaels less 40% my michaels being the only hobby and as such they feel free to charge an exorbent price for thier kits.

It's looking fantastic Jim. I really like the colours for the interior as well as the extra painted detail in the engine bay.

Out of curiousity have you checked fitment of the tub to the body? Mine was a little tall as another poster (apologies but I forget exactly who!) suggested it would be and ideally should have been filed down.

[Jim0205]

Yeah the fit was tough, I was able to get it to sit down but it took some convincing. There are 2 big areas I will point out for fitting the tub to the body is the top edge and bottom edge of the widows it needs some finess to mate up nice and snug.Second where the bottm of the interior mates to the chasis, glue that in place and make sure it sits all the way down, if it can wiggle around it will throw everything out of sorts. Thanks for the feed back I appreciate it.

Pint nothing special just wal-mart's colour place brand lots of thin coats. Let it cure a week between colours and after the black cured i polished it up with turtle wax. To be honest I have not had any luck prior to this painting red in any manner but I think I got it on this and my other project the 70 boss red devil.
