Here's mine that I finished in May this year (sorry the pic's not the best. Haven't got any good ones with my new camera yet.)



Looks like you've got the hi-tech version of the kit. Mine was just the lo-tech version: all plastic (no metal), and curbside. I would like to get ahold of the high-tech version and build it someday too.

One word of caution: I found that the plastic used for the body was very brittle and actually crazed very easily when I applied spray-can primer to it. I tried two different kinds (Duplicolor and Plasticote) and both had to be rescued with alot of patience and sandpaper. I ended up using Gunze Mr. Surfacer through my airbrush in the end and it worked very well. Whatever you plan to use, shoot a test section on the inside of the body before coating the outside!!

BTW, I have a few links with pictures I could send you that might be helpful. Send me a pm if you'd like me to put a list together

Also, the pic below was the only one I could find of this car with yellow paint on it. If you find a good pic of a yellow version, please post it or let cc: me a copy!!
