Nearly finished, some detail work to to figure out, but overall coming along nicely. I first saw this model prototype in 2020 at Amelia Island; the model company was supposed to release it that year, but it never came to be. I found the cottage model company in Europe and secured an unfinished kit to fulfill my dream model car: decals are first rate but very time consuming to cut out and apply.

Windows were cut from sheet acetate, various thicknesses were tried with bending the windshield with a heat gun [fail] eventually used thin gauge and just glued the windshield into the body flanges and covered with black vinyl edging. Can't seem to post more than one large image, sorry.
