Built OBB with original decals. Kit took quite a long time to complete due to a few factors:
- First kit with an airbrush
- A number of parts had mixed paint colours which needed multiple coats
- Had to strip back body a number of times as was trying to get the correct shade of silver, ended up with Model Master Aluminium which is not the exact shade I was after but was close enough.
- First kit with a gloss coat of X22 through airbrush (not that shiny considering testing was successful.)

Overall I'm happy with the kit, there's some minor thing details if you look closely that could be improved:
- The decals were brittle (approx 25 years old) so ripped easily and needed some touching up.
- The front light lenses were difficult to attach without noticing the paint that had to be removed for the glue.
- The grey paint on to the top of the dashboard cracked for an unknown reason (I suspect it's the X22 clear coat)
- The silver stickers over the wheel vents would not remain in place so I decided to remove them.
