Terrific model- I like the passenger seat cover and Brooklands windshield.
Damnit I want to build one of these- especially the BDR cycle fender version. I just can't seem to get myself to pay ot the $300 they go for. But I love seeing these builds. It's definately a someday kit for me.
The big problem with customising the Tamiya 1/12 kits is that both versions have incredibly rare engines, so they just wouldn't likely be seen tampered with in the real world. The JPE especially- practically anything done to it would only slow it down. With some care though, the BDR engine could be converted into a terrific Crossflow- the most common Super 7 configuration ever built, and a perfect base for customising.
