Second build completed for the year!

Probably one of the most difficult kits I've ever built, very challenging the BMF and final assembly...talk about EPIC :lol: !

But in the end I was happy how it turned out, I was inspired by a picture I saw with pretty much the same colour and wheel style ;)

Tamiya TS-60 Pearl Green which is a real nice colour, happy how it turned out complemented with some colours to suit the overall look...

Just a few minor details for the engine, had to trim the tri-carb set up to allow for the hood to shut flush, wheels are from Pegasus and a few bits and pieces from my spares box ;)

Cheers

Ray

Here's the pic that gave me the inspiration

The wheels and tires a perfect Ray. I love the lines of the '59.

The Bathurst 12 hr must have been exciting. Just watched the end on youtube.

Beautiful. That interior had to be a bear to foil.
