No problem Bill. The body is great, well proportioned, the front swoop should be a little deeper but that’s hard to notice. The interior is lacking, the pontoons should be flat, but they are round to accept the “batteries”. And it is a curbside. I’m going to correct that. The prices are crazy high on ebay, buy I watched for several months and got one for $40.00 total cost. Still high for a curbside, but it’s the only game in town.

Great, the fine it shall be!

Thanks Steve, I’ll look into the Cady decals.

Bruce, I got various screen sizes from an industrial hydraulic filter. I should have some extra, how much do you need.

Working on the screens, which do you prefer?

A few spacer, a little filing and the ride height was adjusted. Now on to the screens and cockpit!

Sounds like a good start. I will update you when I try it.

OK Greg, they looked handmade. i need to make a set for my DB5 and looking for ideas.

A ton of details packed into this small package. A very impressive job! btw, what did you use for the chrome headlight rings?

For sure that needs to be seen poking through the hood where it can be seen. Going to pick up the RB motion ends for my Garlets dragster. Thanks for the info. Yes, they are expensive, but we use but a few of them and the results are fantastic!

I’ll check it out Justin, it has to be a pretty fine mesh.

The injector lines are first class, it does pay to take you time. What did you use for the fittings? Love the flat/washed finish on the valve covers.

I was leaning that way, just wanted other’s opinion.

I did a mockup and found that it was setting high in the front (or low in the rear). Decided to lower the front to level it off. What do you think. The tires tucked up in the wheel well a bit look ok?

Am watching this closely Justin, mine is on the bench also. Yours looks great so far.

Pierre, I agree with you about the passing of Accurate Miniatures. I have enjoyed the Grand Sports and an early Mustang. Would have liked to see more. Hope you enjoy this build.

Danial, that McLaren is astounding! I only hope I can come close. I will put every effort into making the panels fit and removable. This proves it can be done. If you find any more pics, please share, I’d like to see a rear shot of the car and engine. thanks!

Hey Rich, sure if you come up with anything, that would be great! Now is the time to identify any problems. How about some pics. The tip on narrowing the front track is great!

Bill, you may have saved this build, I always herd the body panels were difficult to fit properly, no one said why. I can easily heat form the lines to fit down in tightly. I have a variety of metallic finishes, Vallejo metallics, Alclad and a about a dozen old Testors metalizer. Just need to pick a shiny (non chrome) one. thanks

Awesome!

Beautiful collection!

Everything, the paint, the stance, the detailing, look fantastic!

Looks really god in purple.

Turned out real pretty! Perfect companion to the Lincoln.

Very nice 2D. The build is so clean, it really looks 1:1 So you used Vallejo, what color? I also see you brush paint, even more impressive! I have not had luck sanding/polishing acrylics, what technique do you use. I use a lot of Vallejo on my aircraft.
