Yeah, pretty much what Geoff said. If there are some subassemblies that are to be done one colour like engine or chassis then they will be assembled first.
Thank You for the history on the car. It is a beautiful build. And it's also nice to see Historic Racing Miniatures new kit built up. Kudos & Thanks again.
Joseph, reading the label it should work. Tamiya would also work well and would be stocked at hobby shops in Toronto such as Hornet Hobbies, Wheels & Wings, Hobby King or Daileys Hobbies in Whitby.
Beautiful build, Harry! Love to see the classics get some respect. And the lengths you went to, to complete this build, well, you are to be commended. Kudos!
