Hi all been away for a while but I'm back now, probably won't be as prolific as before but getting back in the saddle.
I'm starting with this one.
I know it's the hard way round but I've decided to do it as a barn find first then do it as a full restoration.

This is only a start I've also added some of the body colour to the chassis.




Ken's the name modeling's the game.

More work on this, I have to say it's no where near as good as the mefistofeles kit detail and fit wise I would actually go as far as to say it's the worst italari kit I've built in a while, the detail is very soft (there is a lot of it but it's not very crisp) if I had the patience (and the time) I would cut all the nuts and bolts heads off and replace them.

That said its certainly not a bad kit but since I was looking forward to it being a new mold kit I'm a bit disappointed with it.

Nice progress Ken.
Looks a very detailed engine assembly. Brilliant.
