And now for something completely different...
Parts are moulded either in dark gray or in bright orange. I have decided to add some more colour. There are no safety belts in the kit so I found the acceptable ones (these were also readily available at my LHS 😉). And I was not able to resist the colour I painted the rims - originally they were gray.
Started installing the safety belts and painting minor bits. PE always is my Achilles' heel but I will try to do my best here 😉
Cockpit slowly taking shape - decals and safety belts attached.
I decided to give this car a bit less aggresive character by removing all spikes.
Slowly taking shape.
"Canopy" and "exoskeleton" installed.

Tenaciously looking exhaust painted and installed
Exhaust openings will be given a matte look finally.
Approaching finish line.
I do not know what these cylindrical thingies are supposed to be (smoke grenades?), but decided to install them just to fill these voids.
Only decals to be applied and rear mirrors and "door" left to be installed
I call her finished. Waiting for her girl-driver...
Be careful when separating the translucent (definitely not transparent 😉) parts from sprue - they tend to delaminate a bit...

Thanks for your interest. Indeed, Nathan, there is some word in Polish used to by teenagers to describe such kind of colours... but I won't use it here 😉 I simply could not resist of painting rims this colour, to be sincere 🙂

No doubt they will inform the remainder of the colour scheme - it is going to stand out from the crowd ??

Welcome, Jonn 🙂 Please, do not expect anything fabulous - I just intend to have some fun with that 😉

Welcome, WhiteGlint. It's a pure fantasy, so I can paint it and modify as I only wish 😉

Welcome S M and JD 😉 Its designers have been inspired by Lambo look for sure S M 🙂 Still, I am going to make it less aggresive (it is intended as a gift to my friend's son...)

A gift for a boy? Please put the spikes back on! Make it more aggressive and dangerous! Lol ?

@JD: he is almost six years old now... but I will leave the driver for myself 😉

I was also thinking of removing the spikes. They look kinda "cheezy" to me. Maybe I will add a gatling gun or something. Looking good so far, Robert, keep it up!

Thanks, Dash! I agree with you with regard to the spikes, especially the ones above the front wheels - but the gatling gun seems really cool idea 😉

I call it finished. Now I must grow courageous enough to paint the driver... 😉

Really well done, looks great! I really like the spike-less look. Does the driver really enter through the windshield?

Thank you, Dash, very appreciated 🙂 It is designed in such a way, probably due to this concept of exoskeleton. I would be more concerned of the way the passenger could enter the car, nevertheless... 😉 At first I had the idea of inscribing the symmetrical shape over the passenger's seat, but when I removed these translucent parts from the sprue I noticed that they tend to delaminate a bit.

Beautiful! Great color choices and attention to detail. The gradient on that rear exhaust is beautiful. A+

Thanks, MS K. Suyata is specializing in some toy-like kits that snap together. And yes, there are even two figures - virtually identical save for heads: one is the long haired girl, the other looks either like some feminine cyborg head, or it is the same girl wearing some strangely looking helmet... I am not very good in painting figures, but some day I will give "her" a chance 😉

Looks good 🙂. I started this model few days ago ... It's very simple build and I looking for inspiration for improvements😆. Seatbelts are nice idea!

Thank you, Arthur 🙂 I have noticed that you started this kit, frankly speaking. It is a simple (almost snap-fit) kit, but take care with respect to "transparent" parts - they tend to delaminate while one is removing sprue gates, for example...

I didn't touch transparent parts yet then thank you for advice. I will take care about these elements. I think it will be fast and fun project but sometimes live like surprising 😆.
