Now its done to 99,9%.
Only the kill switches and the wheel nuts have to be made.The rest is done.
I was faster than i first thought.The cockpit section with all those tiny parts who have to be scratchbuilded is always a step i am a bit afraid first.
When you dont got a kit with parts at the sprue its sometime hard to find a solution.But now its done and i am proud of the result.

Better pics in the gallery when its done to 100%.
Thanks for all your comments and thanks to all who watched this M3 coming to life.

all the best
