Very nice great job on the weathering

Thanks Jeremy. I'm normally very fussy about the paintwork, but the side panels were so poor fitting that I had no choice but to paint it in post race trim to hide the joins.

Very NICE Patrick!

Nice and gnarly.

Thanks guys, yes there were a few of these racing at Silverstone circuit about 5 miles from here over the weekend. But I'm glad to say the weather was very good, the best meeting there this year, it overtakes F1 in spades (quality in this case) and very nice old money owners that have had and raced the same car since new. And that goes for nearly every other car there starting with cars from 1920's or even earlier!

..the best, what you have done with this old kit ...to make a car, thats just finished a 48-h-race *lol*

Thanks Dominik, well I have been to Le Mans a couple of times so I know how the cars look at the end of the race!

Awesome, a racer that looks like it's seen it's fair share of races. Excellent job on it!

[PatW]

Thanks Jonathan, yes a fare share of grime and a tyre rub when another racer got just a bit too close!
