Another S.A.S 350z

Hi All
Well this is my first post on the forum and my first S.A.S kit. I've been putting Tamiya kits together on and off for the last 4-5 years.
Finding this forum gave me the bug again.. Once I'd seen the S.A.S kits I couldn't wait to get my hands on one....
I used a metallic black (only visible in the flesh) for the body colour with 18" Work Meister rims, s.a.s GT wing (with studio 27 CF decals), studio 27 harness's and a few other bits from the wreck bin.
I'm not totally happy with the paint job (My standards have gone up after reading p-mans posts:wink: ) and I still need to find a way of getting the front lights to sit properly.
Appart from that a great kit to build...
Big thanks to Chris for a fantastic service.
Comments welcome...

Thanks guys..
The MRM show..?
Is that the one in Telford on the 20th Sept??
I got some info on it slipped in with my S.A.S order I received today.
If so I'll do my best to get there.. I should have my S.A.S Celica finished by then (if it goes well, fingers crossed).

OK Hiroboy as you asked...
One side shot and one from my arty collection.
Hope to get some better pictures done when I have cleaned it up some more (and when I learn to take better pictures :biggrin:).
