I will be going to town on the detail on this model, especially in the engine area. I plan to use lots of the RB motion hardware I got recently (replacing nuts and bolts) and scratch building anything that is omitted.

The only area that I plan to leave alone is the top of the front suspension under the front monocoque cover... the reference photos all show the geometery covered up so I really am not too sure what it looks like. In any case, I don't think my scratch building skills are up to getting it perfect and any issues there will be magnified with front ride height and what not.

Kind regards,
Bill
