The intake/radiator gave me soooooo much trouble i almost threw it out. the stripes riped in about 3 different places so i just figured i would forego the whole racing stripes and just paint it all silver. now i am going to work on my mystery model and see how that works out. it will be my first tamiya, and it only cost me 11 bucks because my friends girlfriend works at a crafts store and got me a huge discount.
