Got my kit last week from mega hobby...was cheap enough @ $18 and some high change but this is because it's a curbside kit...and looks to have been motorized at one point in time during it's release life{not this time though}. Just started filling in the low spots on the body...this will take the rest of the week to smooth out...anyone build this kit already? Pro's...con's...tweeks....?

Nothin yet, huh...maybe I'll have to be the guinee pig. Got the body straight now{looks just like a snub nosed Racer X car}, but those velocity stacks and body grills really need some improvements...where's my micro screen mesh and small brass tubing?!

The body is all smooth and the cast in vents are removed in favor of real aluminum mesh on all 9 vents. Just tossed a light coat of primer on and will post a pic tomorrow of the body.

Question; where would one get a set of resin or white metal weber downdraft carbs in 1/25 scale?
