Hi all nearing the end, it says on the box removable covers to show detail, well it took me near on 2 hrs to get those side skirts to look anything like good fitting. I can imagine the conversation oh let me show you all the detail, by the time I got the skirts off they would have lost the will to live so the skirts will be staying on (shame after all the work that went into the turbos)

Work progresses on the RE20, on the last leg now. Bit peed of with the instructions re the seat belts if you follow the instructions your seat belts will go round the seat nearly twice so now I need to alter them and they were a pita the first time.

An absolutely insane build. What a shame about the side skirts. All that detail on the turbo's alone.
Just stunning with the wiring and plumbing. I agree with the others, when it's sitting on the pavement you would be hard pressed to tell it from the full size.
Another top notch build 👍👍👍
Money is'nt everything but it sure keep's the kid's in touch.

Nice job. I like the paintwork on the engine. You've got it looking very realistic. It's a great looking model.
