                I'm not a car nut either in real life or in the modelling world but that really is turning out very nice indeed. The older cars have so much more character to them.

                Keep up the great work.

                  More done to the Alfa added detail to the firewall (put the rubber strip round where the bonnet goes and some wires) added (or as much as I can see) the throttle linkage (not sure where to route the throttle linkage) all the pics I can find finish where it is now, obviously it must end up at the peddle but no idea how it goes from where it is now to the peddle.

                  Loving the detail on the grill (this from a man that hates PE

                    Behind the valve cover some clockwork crazyness attached to the link to the bellcrank? Now I'm thinking it may be the link & arm mounted to the steering gear case, thus being out of sight to us.

                        OK so I've added locknut detail to the radiator cowling ( loads more of that to add ) added the advance/ retard mechanism and the low tension leads to the coil and to the distributor (still to make the condenser)

                          I have that fancy pliers used for adding the twisty wiring to lock the critical fasteners from my racing days. Not seen it on models before. Great added detail.

                                Coming on a treat Ken. I agree with an earlier comment that old cars have so much more character.
