Thanks Wilmer, Aaron & Anthony! :) yes certainly I will

Some more new shortly on this, been doing behind the scenes work to make kit components, aside from tires, the doors are being cast in clear resin, so that truly flush-windows can be the result, be simply masking the window area and painting around them ;)

Window templates made up, and copies being cut from styrene clear stock.

Done is the in dash bar graph display panel, for the W2 version, which next needs to be taken to the copy shop and reduced in hi-rez on to glossy card stock, along with the California "Vector" license plate & dash radio face.

Next is the PE (photo etch) template(s) for the louvers (head lamp + rear window), wing end plates, interior panels & door panels, license plate frame, fuel filler cap, badges and exhaust header covers.

Doors are being cast in clear resin, so to make painting with absolutely flush side windows possible! :)
