Sometimes you start a build and you just know it's going to turn out well; this is one of those. Additions to boxed kit are the Hasegawa Trytool brand alu-fibre bonnet sticker, the battery has been swapped for a resin one, and the wheels are Fujimi Tommykaira, with added valves. There are also some extra wires and hoses and decals in the engine, and a semi-ejected CD in the dashboard. The car is painted Tamiya Gun Metal Grey and then Mr Hobby Matt clearcoat. The wheels are Tamiya Camel Yellow.

I thought I'd have a go at a Matt car just for a change.

The colour scheme of matt grey, transparent and yellow I realized later makes it just like a Dyson.

Cracking model, and love the attention to detail like the tax disc and sticker in the rear window.
