Tonioseven sent me some hello kitty decals and for a while i thought about doing a ferrari. but,ferrari's are played so i figured what can i build without the end result looking "cute". first thought, a Viper.

so here it is, i dont know what it is with kit makers and this car none of them get it right a lot of fit issues and the stupid gap on a warped hood. car is gonna be nailpolish pink and black with the decals. first things first get the chrome off the wheels.

That's actually a good looking color, gonna have to keep this in mind if I ever get around to doing my 57' Crown Vic... Kind of a rosey color to it, nice work...

Fantastic work so far Lownslow! Love that engine bay/chassis . I'm planning on getting several of these Viper kits soon & doing different custom versions. Have you had any or is there any fit issues with this kit???

Great work so far & keep it up, looking forward to seeing Kitty finished 

Cheers Cliffo 

i'd lower the back just a tad more and sand the tires to give them the real rubber look. i love the color and concept of hello kitty though!

decided to lower the whole car im a lot happier
