What ARE those 2 shadows on the hood? Photo of the underside???

it looks like they are score lines for when you want to install functional hoodscoops

the hood is quite a bit thinner there (so you can cut it easy) and sometimes the paint will "burn" through those sections even when it doesnt affect the rest of the model

check out this build right here

it had the same issue and there was a lot o discussion going on about how to fix/prevent it

Looking great! What are you going to do for the hood? Some putty? I have the same kit WIP (as you know :P ) and maybe I'll have the same problem... It would be easier to fix now before painting. The body looks good, color is nice and BMF work looks great. Engine is good looking too, I like the valve covers on this one. Great job so far, I'll keep watching this one.

It's the Black Widow version, which has the same mistake on the hood. I'm trying to get that model as nice as possible (with my skills) so I must do something for that. And that interior looks very good, like the colors on it. :(

Niko, if you want best results for your build... Scribe all panel lines, its important on this model since they are not good they will dissapear under your paint job. Go figure my build. Paint job is not even thick and still i made panel lines of trunk dissapear. So be careful and good luck. ;)

Thank you Ian. i did buy paint stand from online shop called Hiroboy, but you may find them all over the net. Just search Tamiya Paint stand. :D

Sorry for poor guality phone pic, but here is first look about wheels im using on this one. They did come in this kit and they are one of best Revell custom wheels IMO. ;)

Stance is not that low when i finish chassis, but low enough. Now there is not chassis at all so thats why its so low now...

Has anyone else had problems with custom front axle? Now its full of chipped paint, glue smudges and my dna, but its finally on its place and now i figured that tires wont fit inside of body so i have more some problems here. DOH :unsure:
