It's Tamiya white on the bulkhead cap and parma white on the body but looking at the pics the cap looks more yellow than the body which I would have thought would be the other way around as Tamiya white is usually very white :?

You've done a very nice job on that one , I far prefer to see them fully ready to go with electronics installed , a bare roller can look good but a nice clean install is very difficult , well done .
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Wow, beauty!
I agree on the electronics, nice job on installing them and keeping everything neat. I struggle to do that on my complete cars.

Who's 'repop' body did you go with and it looks like the undertray and body fit nice. Very clean, I vote to put it on monthly ride as well.

The body was a Mr Lexan when he was doing them but I think oldrc might have those molds now and I selling them again? They fit together well but you will have to shave a small amount off the chassis at the widest point for the undertray to fit properly.
