Fantastic attention to detail. I love the blue accented with the red parts, looks great. Would be nice to see the final product all painted up.

Although the XXX isn't quite vintage (yet), it's still a fantastic build nonetheless. From what I've seen, all of Cedric's builds are really first class.

I can image that it would be really tough to 'out-build' any of Cedric's work.

Indeed, his work is 1st class, and not just limited to Losi's either. I have no idea where he gets the time to fund/source/find all the parts, but he does and big credit to him!

Hi guy's

This is how looks the car, today.

Bodyshell is Under painting process.

I should have to remove many of the Trinity parts to comeback to plastic one's.

Matt let me know than he added some Trinity bits, specially for the Car Action review.

It should surprise no-one that I'm digging all the blue alloy bits. Nice, clean and colorful build! 8)
