            Thanks again for the great comments.

            The kit is the real star here, I'm just adding paint and glue :smiling3:

              Yeah right
              Strength isn't about what you can do, rather it's about overcoming what you thought you couldn't do.

                    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.

                        Where the 'really' like button?

                          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.
