here's the kit version
kit 1:10

and the kit for the Nitro one I have:
nitro 1:8

the bodies come in clear acrilic so you just spray them however you please!!

What else do you need for the 1:10 version and so they come in clear acrilic sounds great to me!!

Cheers, BBB!!

Anyways, Thanks for ya comments guys, really looking forward to seeing her once she's been re-sprayed! Just gotta wait till September now feels like AGES away! Im hoping it'll come round pretty quick tho! I'll keep ya updated!!

In the mean time I think I'm gonna have a go at making up some door cards, as once she's been re-sprayed I'm thinking the red with white poker dots won't go too well!! Have got a couple of ideas for door cards designs tho.........I'll let ya know how they go

Little Update:

Took her centre console out today! It did have a union jack on the middle bit, which looked fine with the union jack roof, however, the roof is going.......so I decided I wanted rid of the union jack on the centre console!.....


Well after taking it out, I pulled out all the staples and pulled off the union jack material and recovered it with some black vinyl! I then added, a thin line of purple and silver material going horizontally accross it! I think it looks well smart!
However my camera is broke, my dads is on holiday (with my dad) and for some reason my phone wont let me email pics, so the pictures will follow!
But I'm well pleased with the results!
