Are the tie rods connecting the wings strong enough to undergo wing sanding without deformation ? -

When you are interested in vintage cars, colors are always a problem when the car is gone. The drawings offer a valuable aid if they are from the period and drawn from sight by the artist.

Undeniably, a masterful achievement. Like very much this lovely car. And now, I look at my White-Metal FWD 91 (South Eastern Finecast) still unbuilt in its box, and I wonder why not to transform it in a 122 RWD ?

If spats inside and outside, perhaps the spoke wheel is not necessary. I would have turn a massive one piece aluminium wheel (including the spats) and let it natural after polishing on the lathe. Don't know if my english is good enough to be understood ...
