wow this is super interesting, excellent scratchbuilding! i wish i could be that successful at translating 1:1 down into a model. really impressive.

i owned an MGTF for many years, many decades actually, and always wanted a K3, almost bought one once but a clearer head prevailed.

heres a pic of my trusty TF on its way to its new home (and a frame up resto):

contrary to popular wisdom that car rarely broke down, and i drove it quite a bit over many years and in over 4 decades it only left me stranded one time...and that was because the german fuel pump i replaced the lucas one with went out while i was out on the road.

Thank you for all the nice comments.....The laced wheels construction can be seen in community builds under the 1933 MG challenge, I will be posting the actual lacing this afternoon.

Getting closer to finish...need to send the last bits to the paint shop then it goes under glass.
