Nice !!!!!

[Art Laski]

Yeah! That's real nice...

I'll have to agree with all of the other praise of this build...very nice job. I have that kit, along with Bradford's engine and under hood details....so one of these days, I will "get'er dun". Again, nice work.

I'm a little late to the party, but have to echo what everyone else has said: Beautiful work, and that color is really something!

Great build of a beautiful race car!

Took the words right outta my mouse, brother Matt.

I have a couple of the Gunze High-Tech kits. They are impressive but not without problems. When they were new, I thought them to be milestones technically and offer some rare subject matter as well. The Meguro Z7 was a motorcycle I had never heard of until I came across the GS kit. I don't think these sold really well at the time and I'm sure that the two kits I have were bought at discount. The Daytona that I have suffered a very poor start by the non-modeler that gave it to me. I stripped the body and curbsided it for now. The rest of this guy's build was just scary. Definitely not a good choice of kits for a first timer.

In the hands of someone like Dave, however, a stunning replica.

The translations on the box sides were a little like getting the comics in the newspaper. They should have just called me.

The wire wheels are pretty cool, a sandwich of 6 or more parts, but they do have an irrecoverable gap between rim halves.
