Hi all I'm really enjoying this kit, fit is great, no flash at all( I've seen some bad reviews of this kit, all I can say is they haven't built it or are not modelers)

More done to the Alfa, the underneath is finished so on to the top ( those nuts are 1.4mm the hole I drilled in them is 0.3mm) the drilling was easy threading that wire through the hole was another story.

I'm kind of wishing I hadn't started it, on the other hand it does make quite a difference to the overall look.
The exhaust is not fixed I just wanted to see how it looked.
The radiator to bulkhead brace I made out of copper wire the thing supplied in the kit is so flimsy (the only bad bit in the whole kit.

Hi all first disappointing bit of the kit so far, spent 2 hrs trying to get the bonnet to fit, still not happy with it not sure what to do next to improve fit.

Started some weathering (don't want it to look showroom condition) I also don't want it to look like an old jalopy. Looking at the pics looks like the rear hinge has broken free (again)

Hi all well its done.























I'll post better pics in daylight.



Now this is finished( and after I've done the cobra)

I've promised myself I'm going to finish some of my stalled builds.

Probably not of interest to you car guys but this is one.









And some of these.

Grafted onto a Photoshop background that would be undescernable from the full size.
