Of all your builds Chris, this one is top 3 in my book, not just for the great job you've done but the subject matter as well.  Kudos! tim

I have spent some time on completing the wheels and the rear wing. I will have to say the wing presented quite a challenge. I’ve had to re do it 3 times ?? I was spraying the last coat of clear and then it decided to commit suicide and exploded into pieces on the garage floor. The end plates that are PE bent so I had to order all new parts from Hiro.. I am grateful to them for their help and service, I got the parts in 3 days!!

so hope you like my progress ?

Beautiful build Chris. Looks like it’s  ready to roll out onto the grid.

One question. Was there an issue with the windscreen?  I didn’t read through all of the posts so excuse me if I missed it. Really love these MFH kits and am planning on getting my hands on one in the future.

I have not cut out the windscreen, it’s vacuum formed. I does take some finesse to get it right and you usually have only one shot to get it right.

If you're looking for ideas Chris, MY birthday is in July.    ?     That's a show winner right there.

Gorgeous car and an incredible replica rich with details. Up to your usual very high standards Chris.

Simply, WOW. You are one of those few master modelers who show up to make the rest of us feel unworthy to even try to build a model. This is as close to perfection as a human being can get. Chris, you are human, correct?
