Hello guys and girls and welcome to my newest build. My other half let me pick up a few kits recently for my birthday which she very nicely paid for. On to the kit and I have to say it looks as if revell have really upped their game with these latest kits (the corvette c7.r is really great) admittedly I haven't actually done too much on it yet but so far it's all very good. On to the build as as it the first one of these built on the forum I have taken a few more pre build pictures than normal just so every one can get a good grasp on the quality and changes. The box art is pretty nice I like that there is more black than that old grey colour from the older boxes around the picture, still the same old side opening style box though but that's easily changed to make access better (more tamiya like) I am choosing to to make it in mclaren colours so chose zp mclaren mp4-12c macau orange. I have some zp pearl tinter also which I may try out over the orange The body is made in a very bright colour, It sort of reminds me of tamiyas mazda 787b just not as vivid. Obviously being a new kit there is very little extra material that needs cutting or sanding. There are ready cut out doors which in my experience with revell is a new feature. There is a multi part v8 also and it looks as though not much is missing so revell are outdoing tamiya in this area now. Nicely revell have included parts to make either left hand drive or right hand drive (the correct way lol ) And thankfully the huge rims are not fake chrome plated like normal. The decals are very nice with many different number plate versions The carbon effect decals are really great with a nice tight weave pattern, much better than say the revell laferrari and it's much closer to scale. And even has good detail withing the carbon effect And last parts, the instruction booklet is in colour Though the instruction inside do look a little basic, almost Lego instructions or snap kit like. In my next update I will be starting on actually building once I e done enough to warrant a post. More soon Shaun
