I'm a bit late to the party here but this is a kit I completed early last year, the first since deciding to take up the hobby again after nearly half a century away from it.  The result was good enough to persuade me to keep at it but not good enough to display here I don't think.

 

If I may be so bold as to pass on one tip - getting the exhaust systems to line up with the manifolds is a pig.  Several dry runs were needed before fitting the body to the chassis and installing the engine as I'm not sure they ever will connect and align correctly without significant surgery.  I discovered the hard way that it is impossible if you stick to the build order in the instructions.

 

Otherwise it's a pretty reasonable kit IMHO and I enjoyed building it.
