Now fitted with M-chassis alloys...this car is beautiful on display and out running. It's a stock runner except for a Sport-Tuned motor, bearings and ESC. I absolutely love this car, I aspire to own the real deal in the future!! I don't have the rear view yet but I'll post it soon.
Thanks guys- I love this car so much I think I need to get another! I did the parting line with 0.4 mm Kyosho tape- it adds tons of depth to the car. As for the racer theme, go for it- but that doesn't mean I'm not going to do it on my 2nd GTA!
That's unfortunate the 0.4 tape is disco'd. I got a few rolls while I was in Japan. You might want to look for thin Chartpak tape at your local office supply or art store- it's used quite a bit in the auto design industry to tape scale models.
Haha! The indicators and rear lights haven't been done yet, because they're going to be chromed and then candy coated to look more real. Who's the slacker now?
Nice work Jun, nice touch with the Chartpack shutlines. You are convincing me to possibly purchase one of these bad boys.. BTW I tried to find the Hot Wheels 05 Poster with no luck on the website...send me a link dude!

Oh this is going to make Felix very jealous! Great work Jun. Now where did I put that shipping form to get my M04L shipped over.

I'm not usually an on-road fan, but that looks awesome! I think the striping tape looks the best. Too bad Tower says the .4mm tape is discontinued?
