Anyone ever build one? Post yours!

i bought this one earlier this week, i've never built a model before so it's not perfect

I decided to go with the BTCC model and make it into a tuned street car

Wow, that came out pretty nice. I've got the btcc sedan, I've just never gotten around to finishing it.

thanks! i had to deal with crappy cement and limited colors

plus this is an old model so the decals were not cooperating at all

Thats awesome Leo! I have been scoping out the Tamiya models on ebay for a while, but they all end up being so expensive :(

Anyone know where to pick up a sedan model at a decent price?

PM the guys on ebay. I talked my guy down by buying outside of ebay, but still using paypal.

i couldn't find a good silver spray paint and this color is really nice in person. it's called Italian red.

it's a 1/24 scale model and it cost me... lets just say way too much.

Adam keep checking ebay, some pop out at a decent price once in a while, the sedans are harder to find though.

agreed and VHT the windows :lol:

lol! i was going to but i spent like 5 hours doing the interior and i would hate to not be able to see it

Lookin good man B). lol I love the little motorsports decal on the window. How long did it take for you to complete it?

I've got the BTCC 850 saloon one but it's not done. I worked on it way back in the day and am almost done. Just gotta apply the decals on the body but I'm too scared to. I always end up ripping decals when I apply them <_<.
