very nice, i like the gold radiator grill it just looks stunning the engine bay also looks stunning a lot of detail in this kit those brake lines also look good, do they come with the kit or have you had to make them up from tubing, looking forward to seeing more well done

They come with the kit mate (although they're too short so I had to use copper wire too.

I never cease to be amazed at the detail in this kit KP, Heller really pulled out the stops with this one and I'd wager that some kit manufacturers would have left off the underside brake lines in the interests of economy!

the paint work does look different looks good though, what did you use for the pattern it looks sparkly, a few coats of lacquer will make it stand out, brilliant job can`t wait to see more

This really is the business KP. If the roof is giving you problems just pose it open to show off that great interior!
