This is more of a pictorial Build log. This model (to me) is not necessarily to start with unless you have good basic skills of modifying some parts to fit correctly. The Front Air Dam is an example of some parts needing more attention.

Before you start this particular model or any of the models from www.salvinosjrmodels.com I heavily recommend buying the JIG (blue platform) to build your model, as this is the third car I have built, and the bottom solid chassis has a little warp to it. I used some small self-tapping screws to help hold it flat while I was building the roll cage.

It is a fun model to build and sometimes a little frustrating, but they all will be and have some challenges. For the Decals, you MUST buy the MicroSOL and MicroSET. Because the decals must adhere to surfaces that are not flat but have extreme curves and dips. Too much MicroSOLvent will cause the Decal to disintegrate and you have to be careful.

The last images are the Front Air Dam of which I had to completely remove as I forgot to add the water lines.
