I had won this on ebay awhile back, it was built/unpainted in its original green and gray plastic. It did have the instructions but no box. While hanging out with Michael today after his minor nose surgery, I took it apart and repainted it. I painted it a Metal flake metallic red with several coats of clear and did the grey parts in a silver metallic wheel paint for 1:1 autos. With the nice warm and sunny day they paint flowed fine and dried nicely. I them dry-brushed the base a dirt color. I let everything sit for several hours and was able to reassemble it and add the hot purple cable to the boom. The whole rebuild including painting (drying time included)took about 7 hrs. Just alittle quick fun build!!
