To build or not to Build that is the question????

Firstly the aim is to build an exact copy of my ute or do i keep the kit untouched

Secondly i havent built a model since i was 10 so any advise on paints etc would be great

Regards Adam

Cool model Kingaz,
Where did you score that? Is it an old or a newer kit?
If its old and you want it to retain its value then don't build. If you just want a model of your ute and are not interested in its monetary 'worth' then get into it!

If you buld it well, it won't loose too much value as opposed to being in the box untouched. But it would be worth more unbuilt.

It comes down to how much you want a replica of the real thing. I'd do it but I like building the odd model or two, rarity is not an issue for me.

Careful with the resin ones, they have been known to shatter when used as slot cars. Especially quick ones!!!
