I've been working on this for a few days now, and I must say this kit is very nice. It was engineered for ease of painting. It would be a pain to mask and paint the interior pieces separately, but Tamiya made it easy and made them all separate pieces.
This will be a box-stock build.
I was happy to see Kunta choose blue for his, as I wanted to build a red version. Mine will be Scuderia Red.
I have sprayed all the metallic interior pieces and the wheels Titanium Gold instead of Titanium Silver. I think it will compliment the bright red the body will become. It looks a bit harsh now, but after detail painting I think it will tone down a bit and look nice.
All of the pieces have now been sprayed the base color, and the body has been prepped for primer.
Here's some teaser pics.
