Took me a year to do spent about 5-8 hours every few weeks on it.

Awesome work! Those wheels definitely finish it off nicely
Ive got most of the Trax 1/43 VL's and your BT1 trumps all of them easily

I planned on cutting the bumpers off though and making new ones. As well as making an RB30 to go in (simulating what my car is being build to be, with a high mount 42).
This has made my day

ok then,
window surrounds shouldn't be black
wrong engine (V8)
centre garnish should be grey similar to the bars
rear bar looks too deep
mx grey looks a bit too shiny
wrong grille
no kick up exhaust, but then this one has a V8

Xash - How are you building an RB30 for your one? The hardest part on these is the side windows pulling them off without breaking them is a pain.
