It's the shell of Phils showcar. I wanted to paint it at the euros but my compressor went on strike so I had to run the "German National Color body"
The first time I didn't sport my own colors in almost 20 years.

I don't know what pictures some of you guys have seen, but the SX shell is really nicely shaped.
If your talking about ugly shells, what about the Yokomo BX, Tamiya 501X, XXX4 G+, I could go on - but ive just eaten.
Then there are the bland "me too" shells - BJ4, BJ44 sport, newer Yokomo BX shell - I can't tell the difference. The SX shell I reckon matches these for looks, but beats them on originality.

Hmmm, you neatly side-stepped the ugliest shell by a country mile for obvious reasons. The X-5 is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen on 4 wheels. The 501X & Yokomo BX are super models to the X-Factory's Vanessa Feltz.....
The SX shell is definitely unique & looks ace in the flesh - for some reason it doesn't photograph too well, much like the new Jaguar XF :cry:

After having painted a few, I just think that the windows need re-shaping. I've got on here that I' doing and I've painted the windows how I think they should be, and it transorms the looks of the shell.
Shape wise its pretty good.
I do admit though the X-5 is THE worst shell I've seen.
No offence to X-Factory, but it looks like they've just got los of blocks and stuck them on the vacforming machine where they think they need bits to stick out. It just looks a bit rushed to me.
Hopefully they'll re-design it for future models/versions.
the X-5 makes it hard to paint symetricaly, as it got a big fat tumor on it's left side, and I tend to agree with Tel, Lego block vac forming, saying that, it is better than the 'option' shell they had a while ago, that was thinnger than a condom.
The SX shell seems to follow that odd line the X-5 cockpit, but the BIG side windows over emphasise that too.

In that case, I am quite fond of Vanessa Feltz.... :woot:
I am sure, if Chris thought the shell was pig ugly, the only people to know would be X-Factory.... Poker face Chris... Poker face lol

...strange you should say that.:D Its the side windows that I've modified on the one I've got here for RRCi. Looks much more 'flowing'.
