Found this kit at my local Olies store for cheap.  I picked it up a while back and put it on the shelf.  I spent some time thinking about how could I make it better.  I painted it two-toned and took some flame decals I had laying around and put on the sides.  My son suggested that maybe I put a GT Wing on the back.  So I got started with the most ridicules wing I have ever seen.  I did some research and scaled the measurements down, but it still seems a bit large, maybe next time I'll make it a bit smaller.  Overall the kit went together nicely with the exception of the glue bomb on the back bumper, because it was warped slightly.  The wing is 100% custom from sheets of styrene and small I-beams.

I chromed the entire engine.

I had recently made a new diorama and decided to take some pictures of the SSR on it.  Out for a Sunday drive with the top down and the wing at home.
