This is the Revell 427 I bought last fall, it's not a bad kit although it doesn't have brake details and the wheels won't steer. But it's dirt cheap and with some care it turned out ok if i say so myself.
This is a generic racer, not meant to replicate anything real.
The first 3 pictures were takien in natural daylight, I had to stop because the metal flakes saturates too much on the pictures and it bothered me.
Comments and critiques are welcome :)

look very good !
I'm working on this kit too. sadly I missed the paint job (first time in a while) so it will be on hold.

Man, that looks awesome, try taking the pictures in the shade so the flakes don't saturate as badly. I particularly like the tonneau cover.

Thanks everybody :)
What paint did you use? & How did you do the green rings ont the tires?
It's tamiya TS-20 metallic green with a TS-13 topcoat.
The tires had a circular groove on one side, they provided a decal to put inside the groove, but it's blue and I wasn't sure about that. So instead I completely filled the grooves with tamiya acrylic X-28 park green, then after it dried I gently sanded the side of the tire with 600 grit paper and smoothed it out a bit more with 1500 grit.
