what do you think?

I think you did a great job. The engine bay looks flawless. Optima battery came out sweet. I see you used testors new laquers, it seems like you have a little orange peel or too much base paint as the flakes look a little too thick. How are those laquers to work with? Also you should bmf the window trim around the sides (small windows). Nice muscle though, i would burn out in that thing anyday!

looks like you have the technique down, but you didn't quite stick the landing on the paint job. I'd say you've got a nice shelf model though.

I used the testors lacquer stuff, and my results were similar. I did find that a good primer that's wet sanded with 800 grit or higher and decant and shoot through my AB makes for a MUCH better paint job with this type of paint.
