This is the real thing:
and this is where we are now...
Looks a bit rough, but after some 8000 micromesh that'll all go away. The smooth curves of the real thing are now coming together.
Unforgiving picture, but if you compare this to the kit, you can see that the ducktail is much more vertical.
The plastic in this kit is REALLY good; I believe that it originated with Protar. The detail is fine and crisp, and they've done a great job of figuring out how many parts they need - a great compromise between the soft details of the XKSS I did, and the ludicrous over-engineering of the Fujimi Enthusiast GTO.
And this is the colour I've chosen: a Halfords Ford blue. It's impossible to photograph accurately in the sun!
The seats with their unique "Tony Nancy" upholstery are under way...
bestest,
