A DNF from a recent Auto GB. WIP can be found here https://uamf.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=404&t=18520; and here on my workbench https://uamf.org.uk/viewtopic.php?p=398358#p398358;
Final details added new side window dividers after the chunky kit ones were sanded off. Replacement wipers from strip and wire, I made these twice as the first set from references were for a left hand drive model! New exhausts from some aluminium tubing that I polished up.
Phew, it's taken some time and there has been a bit of back and forth. I'm really happy with the colour, not sure if it's standard but screams supercar. I do wish I had put better metal finish down though before the candy coat, in the flesh there is a lot of variation. It's a big car almost one and half times the length of my other car models. No apologies for the glut of photos, I wanted to make sure I got it recorded.

That looks fantastic, James. An eye-catching build of a stunning original. Just a shame we're not likely to see it again in the Vintage Classics range... The Civilian car park is looking brighter by the day...

Re: Airfix 1/32 Maserati Indy
I've just had a look at this on your WW thread, James and can now really appreciate it with the extra photos. This is a great build and one for the front of the cabinets me thinks! I'm sure it will look great on the CBK tables.
