I do have a question though-I have the same kit and have decided to de-chrome the rims.  What color did you use to re-paint your rims-they look great.

XF-16 flat aluminum, also used black pastel dust on them

make sure the paint is nice and dry cause they are a pain in the a$$  to get on the tires lol!

James,

The model is beautiful! I love the paint and decalling work. Good job giving props to the Canadian driver too! Yes

Finished this one today.



I built the #63 since it has the Canadian driver
Paint is Krylon sun yellow, for clear coat I airbrushed on 3 coats of future floor polish. Wheels were painted tamiya flat aluminum.
I also used some scrap PE parts I had laying around,  the antennas are stretched sprue and the Naca ducts on the vent windows are decals from Powerslide.

Overall the kit is good, but the detail is really simplified on the engine  and interior so I didn't bother to much with those lol.
also my body was warped a bit , that went away when I glued it to the chassis but then I found the hood would not sit flush on the straight body so I ended up gluing it on
