Can see that lots of work & effort has been put into this kit from all the body kit modifications, interior detailing etc but it would be easier to appreciate all the hard work & fine details if the pics were sized, placed & a bit clearer lah.

Roll-cage's nice & interior's got lots of detailed parts added too. :)

was the roll cage made up of the frame, that u thought of yrself?

it dos not look like it fits well in the car. the joints look very crudely glued together. Analyse carefully how a real roll cage looks like in magazines for track and rally cars.

to get a smooth bend heat the "frame" under candle and bend to shape. very tricky to get the exact same shpe for both sides. u can model the shape of roll cage u want wire wires the follw the shape to construct your roll cage.

yr pics are out of focus too. maybe too near to camera. get a shrp focus than crop put unwanted background.

ps. I am not regular scale model person, did build a few in long time ago.

if u heat and pull the frames fro you models can get very realsitic looking radio antenna. learned that while construction a model tank last time.

happy modelling.
