Great work as always Mark. What all did you add to the basic kit? Or, are Tameo kits that detailed?

Thanks! The WCT versions are very detailed all of them come with removable body panels which exposes very detailed engine, transaxle and suspension. I only had to add ignition wires, braided hose, battery cable and a couple of cockpit knobs.

Great job. I built a fair number of F! in 1/43 scale. I used a dremel bit for rivets. it was their tiniest engraver with a ball tip. it produced a smaller depression.
