Finished this one up a little while back. Sorry no build pictures, I am lazy with that.Surprisingly it went together well. I did have to straighten up the warped chassis though. Usual vague directions too.Paint is Tamiya Yellow with clear coat. Rear mudflaps were hand painted.I like the Ryder livery on this one. I noticed after the taking the pictures that my upper rad hose came loose!

Nice touch on the flaps, too. Kinda looks like the radiator went forward at the top.

It might be a case of them pulling the parts from the molds before they sufficiently cooled down. I've had some problems with older AMT kit car bodies doing the same thing.
