Hi all. I built this last year and never posted it up here.

A great kit with pe included, aluminium intakes on the carbies, and lots of details added.

What a cool car. And very nice detail, especially in the engine compartment. Nicely done... :clap:
Love the grill too, I can never get that kind of detail!

Thank you gentlemen. this was a real pleasure to build. Lots of patience went into the engine bay...

I hacked out the molded in front grille and had some pe mesh lying around which went into it. I never thought I could do really good stuff, but after time, and trying new things, the skills improve.
