Im curious about getting 1 of the clear Red Crystal hotrods they make but ive yet to see a single person post a picture of an all clear red one anywere. Ive seen a clear transparent white one and it looked ok but im thinking about making a SonsOfCybertron hotrod but am curious what the all clear red one looks like when finished and assembled

personally i think its just going to look all clear and im gona end up having to buy an all white one and then several transparent paints

Anyone got a pic so i can see what i would end up with if i got an all red version tho?

Why not just buy the Sons Of Cybertron version? By the time you buy a couple KOs and the paints, you're probably close on the cost anyhow...

They're good not great quality for the money initially, but once you understand how the mold works, it becomes a joy to assemble and fine tune. I had to sand down the elbow hinge to allow for proper articulation. The middle piece to the spoiler needed to be super glued in. When you get everything together and you have your version of the classics hot rod mold, it makes you feel it was worth the money. The paint applications on the official Sons of Cybertron Roddy are the best you're ever going to see. I would say you go with the official. Gotta tell you though... these DIY kits are addicting.
