Looks great so far! Looking forward to seeing this to completion. Mine is in the mail and should get here Monday. I also ordered the Revell Ford GT to continue the Le Mans theme.

I've taken a brief break from modeling, but was able to recently pursue my other passion; Motorsport photography. I'm not a professional by any means, but I love attending races and taking as many photos as I can (While still watching the race with two eyes!). I drove to Mid Ohio last Sunday for the...

That looks great! What modifications did you make from the base MP4/30 kit?

Progress has been slow but I've added some more filler/etc to the body. I wasn't happy with the step on the airbox. Per reference photos it was a little too short, so I added more milliput to help extend it a little. I also managed to shape the headrest, and filled in the panel lines on the monocoqu...
