Very nice - will you build the 1957 Mille Miglia GT class winning car of Olivier Gendebien or Peter Thorndyke's adversary of Jim Douglas' VW Beetle from "The love bug" ?

This will be followed closely. Very interesting subject.

Looking forward to seeing this, I built one when it was a fairly new issue. I built/painted mine as if I was an individual configuring the car when new for my own grand touring adventures. 

Harold told me that the Hasegawa 250 Testa Rossa optional wheels/tires were perfectly suited to the TDF model, glad I hoarded a few sets of them when they were available, though today's 3D printed wheel/tire options can work well. It's a pretty simple kit and goes together quite well. IIRC it's a copy of an extinct resin kit from Japan.

Windshields in. Had to make my own front windshield as couldn’t get the kit one to stay in place without interfering with dashboard. With progressive cuts to fir with dashboard no longer had enough material to secure in place. Replaced with .005 inch clear polystyrene sheet

opting against side windows
