Looking good, 2 suggestions, plug wires are too big, and ditch the silver painted trim for BMF.

NICE and clean, looks good so far, but I have to agree with Lee on his suggestions!

[carlosmtg]

For future builds, get some 30 gauge wrapping wire from Radio shack. It is available in a few primary colors. It's not perfectly to scale, but I like the way it looks. It's also very inexpensive.

Remember. In 1/25 scale, 1 millimeter is a approximately 1 scale inch. So when adding detail, use that rule of thumb to decide what materials to use for wires/hoses/roll cages/etc.

Also note, that wires are flexible and so would lay similarly to the above pic. They wouldn't stand up in big arcs.

Your paint work is top notch. And that's the big hurdle for most builders. You build pretty cleanly. I think if you get some BMF and the right detailing supplies, your work will be outstanding.

You may not have used foil, but the trim does look nice... You're doing a good job on this so far... This was probably my favorite film from the movie series... I remember when the movie first came out I was skeptical on seeing it, but John Singleton does do some cool flicks,,,
