Is the body metal? Catzilla! Patrick, the hood and deck lid are metal. Everything else is resin.

Chris, What a journey to get to this point. Can't wait to follow your painting and decaling processes.

It’s been a wile. As some may know this is part of a group build, so took some liberties with paint color and how I was going to do decals on it. So I chose Porsche metallic silver(gravity) and decided to make the livery as if it’s a test mule…I still need to clear the parts to seal the decals and the there’s a lot more to do. Stay tuned 😉

I’m finding the small details a bit of a pain to assemble, but it all will be worth it in the end. The rear louvre assembly is 19 pieces and the rear corner vents are three pieces each. Still a lot more to do…

Chris, I'm assuming that the rear louvres are all individual pieces. You did one heck of a job making it all look like it was caste that way.

Rear deck lid completed, it took a good portion of the day to assemble, but it is starting to look like something 😁

Chris, Wow!! I'm just blown away both at it's complexity, and your skills in building it to look that way.
