Haha thanks Dann, i'll keep that in mind next time I need to do some interior detailing.

Thanks Dann!, interior is looking great

Great looking build and awesome finish!

Looks like a great kit! The magnetic tumbler is a great tip, cleaning white metal parts can get quite tedious

Beautiful build!

Looking forward to this one Dann. Such a beautiful car! Been eyeing a Doyusha DB-5 on ebay forever myself but I just can't justify dropping almost $100 for a curbside kit.

Great build, truly unique!

Love the color, nice build!

Very nice! The decals on the louvers look tricky

Looking great so far JC. Is the 944 on hold for now?

Thanks for the comments gentlemen. Trying a lot of things I’ve never done before with this one but learning much as well. I’d like to try Profil24’s short nose or a Revell XKSS as well, even if it was just for the Weber carbs. I think Weber carbs look much better on this engine, but the particular car I’m building was one of the last works D-types and was fitted with the new (at the time) Lucas fuel injection.

Beautiful paint job! Interior looks great as well

Coming along nicely Dann, looking forward to this one. Btw, what thickness is that sheet styrene you’re using?

Hi all, Finally got started in earnest on the engine bay.. Got the distributor wired using MFH wires and spark plug boots from RB motion. The plug lead separator was made from a chopstick and painted with clear brown acrylic. Also mocked up what I will be using for the fuel injection metering unit. I just cut up a spare Holley carburetor part from a Monogram Shelby Cobra kit for this. Reference image for my next step - installing and piping the fuel injection. Also got started on the brake master cylinder. Here is how it originally looked before some modification. Reference picture I used Detail Master compression fittings and 24-gauge copper wire for the piping. Thanks for looking in!

Nice clean build! I like the color choice.

Wow.. Simply incredible workmanship Doug. I think in some ways our hobby can be described as a 'pursuit of perfection' but you may have achieved perfection with this stunning build. Keep it coming!

Very nice build! Don't see this generation RX-7 very often. Tinted windows add a cool touch!

I like it! Very interesting subject Pat and nice clean execution.

Great build, the subtle race weathering is awesome

Fantastic build! Great work on the undercarriage

Beautiful build despite all the difficulties! I encountered a similar problem with the texture marks in clear coat while moving ,only it was bubble wrap that got me instead of towels

Great job, super clean build

Great builds! The stretch VW is awesome

Gorgeous build! What paint did you use for the body?

Thanks for all the comments everyone. Nearly finished with the rear. Attached rear axle, suspension, wheels and the brake lines. Tedious work but happy with the result. Finally can start on the engine now..
