Good start Kev. This build is going to have some unbelievably small details .
I see that you've added some scratchbuilt pieces. Are you detailing even more than the Top Studio kit provides !!! Fantastic !
Now that I'm near the end of my "standard" kit build I'm going to be glued to this one. ( no pun intended )

Great work Kev, and nice to see your build underway. The penny shot certainly gives a perspective on the size of the parts, my eyes would have left home by now!

Good start Kev looks like a lot of detail even before your additions are added. Al

Thanks for looking in and leaving such nice comments guys, very much appreciated!!
@ Malc - Yeah, just adding a few more details that I've noticed from the photos in my MFH Photo Reference book which aren't included in the kit or the upgrade set. There is one glaring omission from both that I just can't believe wasn't spotted by 'Top Studio' and which I would have expected to be included in their set since it's not in the standard kit.
As you're building the standard kit Malc, can you guess what it might be? A clue: the car wouldn't get very far without it!!

Thanks Dave, Derek and Tony for looking in and your nice comments, very much appreciated.
@ Malc - Sorry mate, it's not the battery and you're right, it would be hidden anyway. Keep trying, if you get really stuck I'll offer another clue but not yet!?

Hi Kev.
You are off to a great start with this build. I have this kit and the Top Studio pack and made a start some time ago. I just have not managed to complete the engine detail, so looking forward to watching your progress. The Top Studio pack certainly contains a multitude of additional detailed parts. Some of the resin parts for the hoses are quite small and fragile. The PE contains even smaller parts, especially the sheet containing the different bolt heads (you just keep the carpet monster away).
As for the omission, it wouldn't happen to be the refuelling point?
Regards,
Adam

Hello Adam,
Thanks for looking in and for your nice comments, much appreciated.
Great to hear from someone who also has the Top Studio upgrades for this, it means you'll know exactly what I am dealing with in trying to get all that detail into something as small as a 1:20 car!! Sorry to hear you didn't manage to finish yours but glad to have you along for the build and I'll try to keep you entertained with my diary updates.
The omission isn't anything to do with the fuel system.
Kev
