Hi guys, this is my last finished kit. "Out of box" built with sponzor logos and Beemax photoetched parts.
I'm not really satisfied with the final look of the kit. It would be better to paint the red areas as the decals are very hard and do not copy the surface properly. Maybe next time...
During the built you will find out the car is too low - looks like lowrider. Shock absorbers are too short. It's necessary to make them longer and then to modify the suspension - it takes some time but the result is much more better.
So do not forget it to check it.

Excellent model. I have one of these in my stash and I am interested in your comments regarding the red decal areas; I too was wondering whether to paint.
