Man, you work fast ! I would still be "sniffing" the part's at this point...... and trying to decide what "Optional stuff" I was going to stick on it.
I have another one, so please let us know if there are any "What the Heck" moment's. So I can build mine with at least a "little" Knowledge of what I'm up against.

Leaf springs on the rear axle of a racing car. That's how it was done in the past, yeah!  |

Evening fellas! Made some more progress.The engine has been painted,wired,and decals on the valve covers.The frame has paint and if you notice the engine compartment is painted white as the 1:1 car.Still need to do some detail painting and add decals to the dash.I had an issue with wheels.The holes on the back are to big and caused a really sloppy fit on the suspension.I ended up filling them in with a piece of plastic rod and drilling them to fit the suspension.

That are super-short exhaust pipes and no mufflers. Must roar like tank! |

Tobi, this is strictly a race car so no mufflers are needed.Roar like a tank,you better believe it. |

Evening fellas! Came home from work and masked off the white and sprayed a coat of silver on in preparation for the blue.Let this sit for a few hours and then sprayed on the Tamiya racing blue.Have a little bleed through which i can touch up with a brush and some gloss white.Next up is more masking so i can paint the interior roof.Really happy with how the paint came out.

Thank you Timmy! It's not the right blue for the car.It's a metallic blue and i like it with the white.
