Finally managed to pull this one over the line! This was anything else but "relaxing", but I guess these things happen. It is shame because the Meng kit is truly a nice one, but I just properly messed up the paint work. In the end, I had to exaggerate the weathering to cover up all the disasters with painting & decals. So, really not a realistic one, but it is what it is...
Photos from the actual race (ONLY FOR REFERENCE):
And my pitiful model:

As Bert said. Not much pitiful to see there,Kari. I really like the way you have it set up with the background. The whole thing looks awesome.

Looks fantastic to me, too.
I will do the same on my Supra GT if it does not sell.

There is certainly nothing to be ashamed of there. The weathering is in eyes excellent and well executed

Sirs, thank you all but this time you are REALLY too kind. Maybe the photos don't show it but the paint work is terrible. I am just glad to get it done and over with. Start concentrating in Zero & Musashi...

That is a build to be proud of! You had lots of challenges with the build but completed it in superb style.
