Egress
This arrived today, after another long long pre-order! It'll be getting built too, but for now I'm enjoying staring at those blister packs!
Update: 9 April 2022
I finally got around to building this. I never got my second pre-order, so I was left with no option of possibly keeping one NIB, so I plucked up the courage and did what we all should do...and built it!! If any of you think I've ruined it with this colour scheme, don't worry! This is a runner body shell and wing. It's not run yet though! I still have the kit supplied body shell, wing and decal set tucked up safely brand new in the box. I'll paint that box art and as perfectly as my skills will allow when the weather gets warmer. I painted the undertray around the outlines of the lower carbon fibre chassis so that it's shown off. Thanks for looking.
Update: July 22
Now fitted with the original shell and wing painted to box art colors (PS-41). Please scroll to the bottom for all new photos. Thanks for looking.

I wish all kits came with them mate! I'm not sure which way to go with this though...whether to go Box art or something original. I've got a few ideas, nothing too wild, but I don't want to get it wrong either on such a nice kit!

I am a sucker for boxart but get what you are saying! Yellow maybe? Or a light blue?? I don't know its to much of a big decision for me lol...

My vote goes to 'boxart' The original Egress boxart is simply perfect!! So sexy!!

Thank you guys for your comments. I think I'll go box art with the original shell and wing, and I'll leave my crazy ideas for a cheap aftermarket bodyshell and wing at a later date.

Brilliant buggy looking forward to building mine, will you run brushless?

Thanks @mickey1000 for your comment. I already have a BZ motor and Quicrun 1060 ESC so I'll stick with that for now, but that may be an option in the future.

I always go box art, but also try and get a second shell for running which I can paint anyway I want. However with it being in blister packs I'd be tempted to buy a second to build! If money allowed that is. Aaah tough choices! I don't own an Egress yet (with an Avante on back order and a TF Evo just built I'm not sure I can justity the Egress) but I'm not looking forward to this dilemma when/if I do. Anyhow congrats! Can't wait to see what you do.

Thanks @Cynan for your comment. Yeah my mind is made up to go box art, and have a second runner shell. That's the best of both worlds. It's funny you say buy another, as I do still have another on pre-order! If they get enough stock I will be keeping one NIB for sure. I'm waiting to see if/when the other arrives to build this one. I will be selling something else though to justify the cost of two!! The Egress has always been a bucket list car for me, and when they announced another production run this year I had to jump! Nice choices with the Avante and TF Evo too by the way

Wow - that's one bad ass looking Egress! Love the smaler windows! Very nice job!

Thanks @Tumbi! Glad you like it. It does look pretty aggressive!!
