Mitsubishi Eclipse '99 - Revell

Hello everyone. I hail from Cape Town - South Africa. I'm a long time member...first time poster. The build is a Mitsubishi Eclipse '99 by Revell. Body is Gunship Grey by Tamiya. Wheels are Silver Leaf by Tamiya.

Fitment is not too bad except for the rear bumper where it meets the quarter panel/fender/wing and the bonnet/hood where it meets the front bumper. I didn't manage to clean up the polish in the panel lines and I messed up filling in the space in the front bumper between the headlights. I also didn't realise how much grey there was until it was assembled.

Apologies for the low quality images as I took these with my phone.

Are these the regular kit rims+tyres? They look so small inside the wheel arches.

Mitsubishi had some weird wheel arches on the Eclipses and even the 3000gt's.
