Looking great as always.

I just wonder:
Did you already polish the body, or if not are you going to ?
I ask this because it seems like there is some structure (very faint orange peel) on top of the side pods (second picture, first post, above the 2 of 27). Or are my eyes deceiving me ?

Not that it detracts from your build, but it's the first time I see something like this on one of your builds...

no i didn't polish the paint. i don't believe the real car would have been polished or anything. so i just layed the clear on as smooth as i could from the spray can

Nice clean build.
What color red did you use?

Superb build.
