bogger44 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Great start John. Love the Atomic Orange, was thinking of building mine in the same color (whenever that may be Lol). How's the kit going together, any issues?
Johnny1973 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) Thanks Tony.The kit is going together with no problems.Thee might a small issue when I put the interior and chassis together.The Alternator maybe in the way just a little bit I try to test fit it to see but otherwise the kit isgreat.The ZR1 kit I had no problems with if I can remember.

Steve Prideaux Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 John, The color looks fantastic. Is the paint acrylic or enamel ? It looks really great. Steve Prideaux
