Superb and a great amount of detail provided. Surprised it had power steering.
This does look a nice kit and a lovely job your making of it.
That engine and interior is looking superb. The detail is stunning.
Thanks again for the great comments.
The kit is the real star here, I'm just adding paint and glue :smiling3:

Wow! I love all the detail, it's so cool, well done indeed!
Such incredible detail Andy and you have done a great job in assembling.
Careful Andy, car and bike kits are addictive. I always thought of myself as a confirmed AFV builder, but I don't think I've touched one in almost two years.
I started a Miura years ago but stumbled when I got to the fine detailing bits and it kinda put me off.
I think my skills have improved a bit since then so may well try another after enjoying this so much.
The glazing is now fitted. It needs a good clean but I'll wait until the glue has firmed up fully
The rear side windows were fun, with an etch grill and a transparent air scoop. The kit also supplies some sub-millimetre etch fixings for around the edge but that isn't going to happen lol. I'll give them a blob of silver paint instead, same for the other windows.
I've also finished the front bumper & light pod:
And I've decided not to add any droop to the suspension. If I ever want to display it on the ground it would look weird, so I've been cleaning up all of the substantial mould lines ready for a splash of paint. The hub & disc assembly has a poly cap inside for attaching the wheels:

Can't get over the super details in this kit, can see where the cost is more justified.
Belkits stuff is really nice, if not a little spendy. Still, you get what you pay for.
Just caught up Andy, that is looking sweet.
Sorry Andy, I fell behind on this for a little while, but....Damn Buddy, you have been very busy. The detailing of the interior is incredible and probably costed a few nerves too!!! Fine paint and decaling as only you can do and the motor is tops. Looking over the last few pics, the only thing I see wrong is, there's no door handles on it....Or am I jumping the gun about that....

Thanks all :smiling3:
Either that or I forgot to paint them (and the mirrors) until last night... :nerd:
Once in the car they aren't allowed out until they've won the stage, then the mechanics will open the doors with a magic key.

Magic key??? Ya killin' me Bro!!!
It looked good when I was looking on my phone earlier. Now I've had a chance to have a re-read on my laptop!! WOW, just doesn't do the work justice. Damned amazing Andy - amazing. Your attention to detail and finesse - outstanding.
Thank you very much Doug!
I've done that myself sometimes - "liked" a post but reserved comment until I've seen the pictures on a bigger screen. Trouble is I tend to forget what I was supposed to be looking at by the time I get home
