Looks pretty good! As for the real vehicle i'm not sure about the white rims, but to each his own. Could look amazing.

I bet this is the first one for you hah ?
Dont want to leave negative comment, but try harder next time.
Yea somewhat first. I built models when I was like 10-14, or around then (24 now), but I didn't put much detail into them. Don't think I ever even painted the bodies.

I can definately do better next time. Though I'm not sure what I'd get next. Perhaps my two previous cars as a "memorial".

And I do not mind negative comments. It's how we all make ourselves better.

The rear bumper is a combination of both a bad paint job and the glue kinda taking some of it off so I had to touch it up with some other white paint from a little bottle and not the spray I had used. The Duplicolor primer also somehow makes the plastic more ductile if it isn't completely dry. And I sanded too early. Thus some sharp corners were lost.

The link to the Ebay auction is on the first page. But I'll post it again.

^That is some fantastic detail work. What did you use to apply the paint? And what kind did you use?

I was thinking that. I'd either go with Black Wheels and White Brake Calipers or the White Wheels with Black Calipers.

I think black wheels instead of the white ones would look much better.
