Just outstanding by any standard. As I have stated many times, a Protar kit can be built to as high a standard as any other kit! Looking forward to more of your art. Thanks for posting this.

Bellisimmo Giovanni!

Makes me want to go and dig out my old kit out right now.

May I ask what brand of braided hose have you used? Looks perfect for 1/12th (& better than my Detail Master stuff!).

Stunning! Looks beautiful. Love the split pins on the brake caliper. When you use the braided hose and a resin hose end do you drill out the hose end so you can insert the braided hose into the end? Looks very neat, I've tried drilling my hose ends out to accept the hose but I struggle to get it right. I wonder what is your technique?

Hi at all,
And thank you for yours comments.
For Rich
Thank you for the compliments !
Protar kit is an good base for a superdetailing.Only one thing is bad : the styrene adopted for the kit.
For John (vontrips)
I have used Protech braided hose, for me, the best on the market.
For daveyman
I don't use resin hose end. Only metal hose end from Detail Master, RB Motion, T2M, Top Studio.
I put the braided inner the hose end and, eventually, I enlarge the hole with a reamer, very slowly.

Giovanni La Rosa
