Electric blue

This is the first car that my son Matt and I have built together from scratch. Kit was bought from Fusion at Kidder - great deal James :-) Collected up the usual alloy add-ons - shocks, prop-shaft, motor-mount - plus an RZ 23-turn motor and bearings for the axles. Assembly was OK though the kit is not as precise as others that I've (re)built; we had particular trouble getting the motor/spur cover on and I'm still not happy that it fits properly.

For the bodywork we decided to go away from the box-art and chose PS-16 metallic blue to match the shocks with metallic silver 'Viper' stripes down the body and wing. The photos don't really convey the lovely deep colour - I'll do some more outside when it's sunny. I put a selection of the black and silver decals on, avoiding the pink ones!

The GH certainly shifts on tarmac, but I don't feel inclined to take it off-road until we can sort out the droooooopy rear suspension :-( There also still seems to be a lot of 'drag' in the drive-train so still some sorting to do yet.
