Gull wing doors kinda suit the stingray, in a strange way.

Hi all, here is what you get for the coil springs in this kit,

after hunting through my springs collection I found these

I'm a bit disappointed they don't show up more

Here is another update on this one.
I'm wondering (since I've made it gull wing) should I do away with the door handles move them further down or turn them sideways.

Hi all been adding some detail from all the reference pics I've got they all show this with servo assisted breaks, this is what the kit supplies
Image
So I acquired this off my missus favorite tipple (she is Scottish)
Image
After a little sanding and a crease in the right place
Image
Image
Image
I've no idea where a lot of these pipes go as I've not got enough ref pics so I've guesstimated
