I think Mr. Hiroaki Fukuda's site has a sample of one being done that way.

Sorry, I haven't completed yet.
Modeler's and S27 (same kit, by the way) is just slightly smaller to be 1/24, because the shrinkage of a resin copy wasn't taken into account when the original part was designed. This makes the installation of 1/25 a little easier. But, the racing viper has a full dry-sump lubrication system, so the engine sits much lower and farther back then the street car. After all, it's going to be a semi scratchbuild project, so it'd take a lot of time and effort to build a fully detailed racing Viper. The Modeler's kit is out of production, but S27's kit in general is not so hard to build.
