Builder: Evans Leinbach @scale_model_m8
Location: North Carolina
Brand name of kit: Tamiya

I’ve built one of these when I was younger so I was ready for the horrible fit issues and fragile suspension that’s all too known with these old motorized large scale kits. Even though that may be I love them and the finish result is worth it. I spent a ton of time building this one and added lots of extra details. Including correct fuel lines and added oil cooler lines. This kit had already been started so I did my best to right the wrongs of the previous builder (who was probably a child) including building a steering wheel from scratch as the one that was included was broken. Paint is tamiya racing white with 2k clear from spray max. Decals are from Indycals and all the hoses are from either Model Factory Hero or Amazon.
