Shan't leave you guessing any longer. I've got a bit of a thing for the radical Megane Trophy car - and wild paint jobs - and the two came together in this SCX purchase:
It needed a good clean using a damp cloth - plus the stub of the broken roof aerial was nipped off with nail clippers.
It has an independent front end with black plastic stub axles, the ends of which I disguised with a spot of silver paint.
Not apparent here but it does have front and rear LED(?) lights. It would benefit from the apertures being silver, as per other releases but doing this retrospectively risks damaging the clear covers.
The deeply recessed side panels with the '25 Ninicar' markings are heat staked separate pieces. I used GS Hypo cement all around the internal mating edges to ensure a secure fit. This also stiffened up the bodyshell.
Have to say, even without running it, I'm really pleased with this head-turner - and there'll be no losing sight of it on track.
(P.S. Magless of course!)
