You're right about that, but I think that's about the best original Vega body I've seen so far
Anyway, I thought I'd share my Ultima SC with you guys:
(

I had completely different plans for the body (Snap-On theme), but a few days back this idea crossed my mind. All plans were pushed aside and I instantly started working on it
I painted the shell (all three colours) within one day by drying them very quickly next to a heater, as I didn't really care about that result - I only knew it had to be painted to cover a spot here and there. Then that night I pasted on part of my decal collection and this is the result!
PS: The body is actually an HPI Blitz shell, I was the best looking and most realistic SC shell I could think of - the car started out as an Ultima DB so hence why I didn't have a Kyosho shell for it. I don't have any chassis pictures currently, but I may add these soon. It's pretty standard apart from a slightly modded battery strap and the JConcepts Overtray.
