Nice looking model you've got there;
If I may a suggestion to improve it even more, try sanding the line in the middle of the wheels, not only will that line dissapear, but the unnatural shinyness will also be gone.

Just a little tip, otherwise top-class model

This car is a Mustang GTO(IMSA) not a GTX. The later GTX was heavily modified version of the original Mustang that was the re skinned Zakspeed Capri. This car was an american Tube frame V8 powered(basically a Trans-Am car) with no connection to the Miller Mustangs or Zakspeed cars which ran 4 cylinder turbos. Nice work on the model, they can be a somewhat ill fitting and sometimes warped kit.

update, body, boot, hood sprayed, started on doing the transfars but it seems the age of them have made them break very easy, plus the red stripe around the car transfar is in 9 parts n they don't even match up once they put on, gotta sand the front 2 right off n paint them on Plus a lot of touching up to do on the breaks in the transfars can see me doing a full respray n ended up with out the red strip on the car
