I was and I'm tempted by this kit. But never make the final step to buy it. It's well detailed? It worth the time and the price??

It is pretty detailed for a simple out of the box kit. As far as I can tell, every piece has been fairly accurate when compared to the ref pics that I found online.

It's been worth the time so far. And it was given to me as a gift, so i don't know how much it is.

Yea, I just love the "raw-ness" of old race cars. Their flare gives them a great presence.

Thank youuu. I think I'm going to paint the cabin with TS-17 (gloss aluminum) and just apply the bare-metal foil to certain panels to give it highlight diff textures and to give some color instead of all one tone. If that makes sense?


I want to reproduce a thin 1 mm black stripe that goes across the lower portion of the car. Anyone have advice of how to do that. So I just try to mask it or is there a easier way using decals or another method?
