Love the wheels Matt! What size are the Aoshima rims in scale,17,18,19 inch? They look bigger than the kit wheels? The black centres look awesome.If I build this kit I was looking to change the standard wheels as I don't like them too much.What colour are you painting the body? I'm assuming thats white primer it is in at the minute?

I'm going to follow this. Matt keep us informed as much as possible.

The wheels are 19 inch, they are very similar in size to the stock rims. The body is in pearl white, not cleared yet.

Frustrating to wait for Hobbylink to ship...we preordered the Caymans when announced, they came out on the 29th, HLJ was on holiday until the 4th, order (with a couple 512 BB's ) still not shipped, still in "payment processing"....

Love HLJ but hate their internal slag time, shouldn't take them a week to get an order of in-stock items out the door

Rainbow Ten shipped my order (not Cayman, but something else) on Christmas day, and they don't stay closed until the 4th either.

It's a nice kit, very nicely moulded with a lot of detail. No problems yet.......

I ordered a FXX from HobbySearch on 012.30.2006. STILL in "ready to preparing" status as of 01.23.2007! 3 weeks is kinda getting ridiculous for a simply stick it in a box and ship it timeframe...oh well..
