Nope; I don't build 1/12 scale (I was offered the review kit and passed), and the people I know who do are still figuring this beast out. If anyone I know who can do a great job with it and actually build it, it would likely be Eric Cole aka Mach I 2003. My personal passion is for the Gulf-livery LeMans winning car from '68 & '69. If the kit were that (and not nearly as compromised), I
might consider it.
I should have the Tamiya Aston Martin DBS and McLaren Mercedes SLR 722 review kits on my bench early next week
Review kits have to be built OOB, so not much room for doing much with that kit other than showing it built as-is. I continue to be completely perplexed as to what Trumpeter is really trying to accomplish with model cars. They still seem to have little clue how to hit any sort of "sweet spot" whatsoever.
