well it's kinda hard to avoid a skyline really 
previously it was a red r34 i waver body and has about 1mm clearance at the front so i decided to make this a track only body. i've learnt that bright colours are the best for these buggers on a track and there aint much brighter than flouro yellow!
when i undercoated, some of the exposed red paint bled through, i figured once i started getting the colour down it would disappear. and it might have too, but when i went paint shopping i could only find flouro yellow in a polycarbonate paint. that's specifically for those clear 1:10 bodies as it eats into the plastic. so i knew i was gonna have interesting results!
after all the colour the red bled through alot, but i actually like it and regret not sanding back more spots for the red to come through! i scored some troy lee designs stickers from the local bike shop and cut to fit. after some nice shiny krylon clear glaze i added the mesh for the vents up front. it's added 10kph already!
