I have one I purchased a few weeks back. Not sure how it compares to the original but I needed a body for a B2 I've been working on. Haven't trimmed or mounted yet.

One of the best things about the HPI shell is the super-sharp lines and curves, doesn't look like that translated that well in the BTG shell. Can't believe he has the minerals to leave the HPI viper logo in the back-

and there is no wing, which was unique to the shell-

Not that I want to see his products go away or anything but I can't believe nobody has sent eBay a copyright infringement notice.
What does the original body look like painted? What was it for? I originally thought with would be about a super-size Dodge Viper body lol

I'm not a proponent of his work, and I'm pretty sure that's known. However, that shell's lines and curves probably make it one of the harder bodies to make correctly.

Unpainted, but cut to fit.
A bit hard to tell the lines of the body.
