Anyone who has followed this build knows way better than. :-)
Great job. Love the tire marks on both side of the car. 'Cause every NASCAR fan knows rubbin' is racin'
Thanks for posting the build and the final product.

Great pictures of an amazing model. The Goodyear decals look really good.
Your signature weathering looks amazing as always.

Here is an example of a Model On Display feature.
Ian Hills MOD
It's a pictures only piece where you submit 5 - 10 photos of the model and I put them in a special gallery and then create a feature that can be accesses from the MG home page or the Features section.
An example of a longer Build Story feature is on with a 'story/explanation' of how you built the kit. It can be a full step by step feature with in process photos and everything. Or it can be more text based if inprocess photos aren't available.
This is an example of a full feature (not necessarily a build story).
