Beautiful! I spreading the body over the chassis is never fun, you beed 4 hands...

Cool car!

Beautiful little car, and a great colour!

It looks almost real in those shots, very sharp build!

Stunning paint work! And it does k like a cool motor...

A fantastic build, well done with the grill mod!

Beautiful car, and a superb build!

Sweet build, love the slatnose, and yours is a beaut!

It is a shame about the decal on the bonnet, but the rest of the builds are cool!

The body paint looks excellent & the interior is very sharp!

Itsa great build of a beautiful car Carl, looks nice in yellow too!

Super clean build, and nice colour combo Bruce!

Sweet build Chang, I never knew there was an enthusiast version of this kit, I see what you mean by the ody propotion from your side-on shots, but it is still a stunning build.

Pete, this build looks amazing, very sharp!, you'd never know the interior was brush painted, its so smooth...

thanks for the comments guys, I will tone down the glossyness of the heads for sure with some matt, good call! And I will try to enjoy the rest of the build!

All thanks for the replies, Casey, do you have a picture of what you mean by Photoetch plug wiring loom? when you say anchor each piece - do you mean with super glue? what do you mean by match the Outer Diameter to the Inner Diameter?

Hi All, hoping you can help. I've always struggled to get leads in a stright line, there's no PE set for it, If I put glue down, it makes a mess, and the cables seem to have a mind of their own. so, how do you guys do it? this is the Ferarri Testarossa head and HT leads, I'm going after this look. My headers are ready, and I have cable, please help!

Bruce, I was just starting to get over how good the paint job was, then you jit me with that engine! it's just sublime, cool build thanks for taking the time to share!

Its a great start to a cool car!

The Hasegawas are great kits, its coming along nicely!

Andre, your build will be a killer, its good advice from Kurt, the fit of the engine carrier is poor at the back, I had to dissassemble and cut bits off the frame to get it to fit. I decided to go against filling the wing gaps, as i couldn;t see a good way to paint it when it's assembles, but it sure would look better filled. Also, my bonnet lid was twisted good luck, its a great kit!

Exhaust system ready.. this didn't go as planned, but it's turned out OK, im not going to try to get the silver lines on the cyl heads

There's a lot of stuff in Tamiya X-18 Semi matt black, a bit of artistic licence with the anodised orange and reds! the bulk head will have some foil for heat reflective material

Brakes assembled
