Honestly I've never tackled a racing car. I'm going by the colors given by the instructions.

As for the color, it's gotta be black now that I've already done the rear hatch.

All I can say is you could rebox it in a Tamiya box and nobody would know the difference. Even the wheels are the male adapter style with the tires already put on them.

Looking good, Syndicate. Black is a pain to get a smooth finish out of. Maybe I should finish up my 911 GT1, too.

Of course, I scammed a ton of the parts out of the Revell/Dragon kit for a 70's 911 Carrera (engine, brakes) and a 1969 Corvair (transaxle, front & rear suspension).

So I'll just use the UT kit.

So that means that if I buy this same kit (revell gt1), I'll get a warped chassis too?

BTW, just how badly warped was the chassis on your kit? I purchased the Champion version of the kit several years ago, and the chassis was warped beyond use. I thought that using a heat gun to basically melt it to a flat piece of wood would cure the problem, and it seemed to work, until I took the heat away and watched it re warp as it cooled. Of course, when I ordered a replacement, it was warped even worse than the original...

Good chance of it. To fix it, just set something heavy on it to flatten it and leave it somewhere warm for a few hours. I put mine in a food dehydrator at about 135 degrees.

Thumbs up

This one for sure would pass for a Tamiya model If you didn’t tell it is a Revell one.
It’s coming really beautiful. Continue the good work.
