I don't, Karl, but it seems to be a nicely-done, simple kit that builds into a really attractive model. It appears to have a pre-painted body that looks quite good and solves one of the major issues of building a kit yourself.

@mikedetorrice The original builder painted it red, so the new builder stripped it and painted it green for the new owner!

It is certainly very nice work. That finish pops!

Ooops, Karl, lol, it looks good in either color ! I have only done a few diecast models, and one I painted with an airbrush. They work well yet one needs a painting area/booth of some type or go outside to avoid overspray, etc. The green makes for a very attractive model !
