Looks great. The Lotus 49 is a classic beauty. One thing though. I thought the cam covers on the engines of Rob Walker's cars were polished and not the standard black from Cosworth.

Thank you all for the great comments, it really is humbling to get such great feedback from some of the best modellers out there.

I had thought so too, but my references showed that Walker ran his first Lotus 49 with black covers.
I believe they were polished on the 49C and 72s he ran.
