Thanks for this guys. It was a problem as most of the decals were not supplied with the kit. Just need to paint letters on tyres now !!

Tyres look better than stock, but could do with being a but bigger. I'm dissapointed they didn't give it bruiser size wheels and tyres :(

I was with the 'hideous' group at first, but it is growing on me. Does look very plasticky. shame the standard kit does not come with any carbon and metal hop ups. Suppose the world of buggy racing isn't what it was !!!

Have to agree about the wheels. Thinking about getting some original avante ones ! would like some original decals as well. !

To be a real turbo mid, you need the rear anti-roll bar and thefibre shock stays. Mersey_mike

Would be a shame to leave it unbuilt, when it looks so damn good in box art !!

Finished project
mersey_mike

Yeah, screws at the side to mount the body. There are lots of guys out there who have given inspiration, especially Toykid, see the project for some name checks.

Great paint scheme. Can we have a close up of the wheels, it is hard to see as they are soooooo tiny !!!
