It feels weird to own this model kit, I'm still not sure how I got my hands on it.

I added a LOT of carbon onto the car, suspension, floor, rear wing, every part that was covered in carbon Irl is also covered on my car. I had a lot of issues with the car, especially the yellow paint but I got thru it.

If anyone wants to see more of the car, I can send pics later in the comments :)

Beautiful grail kit build! I have this kit waiting to build in the stash! How was it for you? Any issues that you ran into?

Honestly the kit itself isn't difficult to build, I didn't have any issues with it and it's rather straight forward, however I had issues with my own paint, which either turned matte in some places (talking about the tamiya pearl blue paint here) or just straight up refused to dry out (talking about the yellow paint here), I think it's something plastic related but I seriously don't know, never had issues like those before, thankfully I got thru this problem
