thanx for your interest Phillip, windows in mine were individualy etched.

Cato the blocks, deadeyes, string are in the kit. had to buy extra on account they did not supply enough. as a warning all plans are in Italian,I had to go to the public library for translation and it ended up a waste of time.

great build, great color but, red wheels ruin it. classy car with rich lines and styling. the wheels need to reflect the theme of the car. bronze is rich so you got that part right. when you look at a car your eye shouldn't go right at a plain steel wheel. red does that. bronze on the rims, trust me. now all you car guys make me want to cry. yes it's the bleached out whitewalls. nothing looks cheaper, paint them with a good waterbased off white towards a slight cream. with the rim and tire fix this kit would look 10 times more expensive.
