The Tamiya S2K is easy to build. Shouldn't be to much of a problem. Not really tips or stuff on that on. Just change the wheels to some bigger ones. Makes it look nicer

^I completely agree. The S2000 is a great kit that is very simple and great for new modelers. Furthermore it is a great looking car.

I had no problems building it at all.

Ditto all the above. One thing I would suggest is to make sure the headlights fit properly before painting the body. I had some trouble with mine, and I couldnt get them to fit just right. If I would have test fit them beforehand, I would have opened up the openings for the headlights on the body.

Re: Beginner Here!! Suggestions or advice on S2000 build...

The only thing that might give you trouble is the H decals on the chrome (not gold) wheels. The suggestion here is to put some gloss clear on the center cap before applying the decal, this will help the decal stick.
