I've just finishing building this as close to box art as I could get it.
It took a couple of hours to build the chassis, and several days to do the body! Lots of masking required, and lots of compound angles to deal with! The front spoiler and rear air dam are painted black so the whole body first needs masking off except for those areas. The window and light masks are supplied which helps though. After painting the front and rear areas, most of the masking is removed just leaving the window and light masks, then the main body color is sprayed on. After that's dried, the window masks are removed so that they can be sprayed PS-31 smoke (which I handily had left over from painting my Black Special Avante), then finally the light masks are removed. The front and rear lights are actually separate and need cutting out and painting and decals applied before sticking on to the inside of the body shell. There are loads of decals to apply too compared to most models, but it is nice that as it's a Ford licenced product all the sponsors names are real which makes a change from all the re-re's and adds to the realism. Overall a really enjoyable build and whilst not perfect I'm happy with how it turned out.
Hope you guys like it. Comments welcome as always! Thanks for looking.

Looks great. I just built one of these as well and you are correct, chassis takes no time at all but the body takes ages. I did not go with box art, but the decals alone took a couple hours. Rather than painting the lower black inside the body and masking I did mine matte black on the outside along with the roof, spoiler, and hood vents. Box art does look great on this one though, nice job.
