This Tamiya kit has a cast-metal body. I didn't like the sloppiness of the top deck when dry-fitted so I had to shim it on each side.

Same thing with the rear plate. Some serious shimming was required.

It's coming together! A quick dry-fit of the top and rear lets me know that all the side-to-side gaps are gone.

All wheels were primed with Tamiya Metal and Plastic Primer, then sprayed with Tamiya Rubber Black acrylic.

Wheel masks created with my Shadowline Hobby circle cutter. I used it on .005 sheets of styrene so that I could have a bit of flexibility when taping the wheels to the back of it.
