Wow - great to see the final product. Very nice work!
Brings back memories for me - I used to love doing plastic model kits.
I'd love to pick one of these kits up.

Well it took me a few months to build my kit. The kit goes together nicely and doesn't take that long. I just took my time and worked on it little by little. The Goodsmile Racing Miku livery decal set looked extremely challenging and I wasn't that keen on the anime theme. But it was the complexity of the decals that ultimately kept calling to me, I had to see if I had the skills to pull it off.
Maybe in a few months I'll buy another kit and build it with a different racing livery. But for now I'm happy with the way it turned out.

there are a million different options for models. If you dont like the livery there is always decal kits you can pick up. seems this is the only 997 kit so far that ive found. You can always hunt ebay for little pieces, wheels or decal kits. I know it may not be 997 but it can always be used on any model. I got thinking of buying a martini decal kit and making a 997 martini or http://www.renaissance-models.com/1-...e/tk24_030.htm
there are many different choices to be found with alittle searching. Coming into the winter months now i may just buy a couple of these and make different versions for my collection.
or 996 versions are everywhere http://www.renaissance-models.com/1-...e/tk24_186.htm bunch of companies that make nice models are tamiya, fujimi, Revell just to name a few

Don't mean to threadjack, but if you are looking for something a little easier to build, try this for fun! I just picked it up a couple of months ago at Toys R Us. It's 1/18th size

My hubby builds models for a living. He always uses warm water with "Decal-Set" and "Solva-set" for applying decals. Makes it pretty easy. He's built hundreds over the years and a bunch for Jerry......

Rob says he's not sure on the 997 kit, but FUJIMI kits in the past have always had serious suspension and engine details....including pistons and cams.....that you will never see after it's built!
