Love the big kits. Are you planning to do this more or less OOB or is this yet another subject for Radical Arnification?

Pretty much oob Kats.

It is a nice kit dating to 1988 and has 4 wheel independant suspension with a Jag i.r.s. Got the chassis done so pics later/tomorrow.

Cheers Gaz,about to spray the chassis rear portion,the i.r.s was not mounted securely enough and fixed a couple of braces into the chassis.

I just picked this kit up at a show in may. I definitely like it better full fendered vs. the high boy box art.

Nice color! Bright color would make it look larger and more of a "tub." Medium dark red is super and super smooth. Wheel pattern is a good choice too, sort of open like the old wire wheels!
