This is my first attempt at my own body build and not only that it's been done with 1 hand so far with a little help from the Mrs.
So I received the shell yesterday from Japan and couldn't wait to get stuck in and have my first go at trimming which was a little difficult but we got there. I did take a picture of the trimmed clear body but fingers got sore and didn't realise it was blurry.

I chose to go with Tamiya bright red or at least until it ran out and I had to order more. With the red I thought white hpi te37 wheels would set the colour off and I think it's beginning to look good, just need to wait for more paint before the final result but here's what it looks like so far
