Lovely model build and superb finish.         You can see the lineage from the Le Mans C and D Types.

Matt Bacon mentioned the tyres reacting to the plastic wheels after a while. Had this happen to an Airfix Bentley that I built years ago. If the kit tyres are Vinyl they have an adverse  chemical reaction when constantly against Polystyrene plastic unless a barrier like paint or foil is used. This is a thing to look out for in kits that have been stored for years with loose vinyl tyres in the box. I have also found out this the hard way with tyres and kit parts ruined whilst concealed in their box. Always separate them.  Either put the tyres into a separate polystyrene bag of wrap them in tissue to keep them away from the main kit parts.
