Building the M-05L chassis was easy. Just take care of acquiring a full set of ball bearings first, take note of the supplied correction sheet for servo attachment, and choose your desired wheelbase configuration.
But the bodyshell was quite an undertaking. 7 different colors of Lexan paints: Black, purple, neon green, orange, with white as backing between each color change, silver as the final backing, and smoke for the window tint.
70 (!) stickers had to be carefully cut out from the supplied sticker sheet and meticuously applied on the body. Most of them went into defining the window gaskets, lights and grill. Inner light buckets (non-illuminated though), side mirrors and license plates had to be attached separately.
Finally, I applied some Neon Genesis Evangelion vinyl stickers for the Itasha look.
Driving the M-05L is fun! Quick, turns well and does reverse 180 turns on command.
