Wooohooo, bring it on fella - I'm looking forward to this one already!
opcorn:
I've always thought this model lends itself to scratchbuild detailing rather than going the SMS route (lovely though their parts are)
If I can make a suggestion on the body for starters please? Cut the oversized rear side window rubber moulding out as the original ran perspex bonded in place with a thin black siicone bead - it also gives you a chance to sand the kink out of the corner shape which is just plain ugly (and wrong)!
Good luck with the build!
