Beautiful

Very cleanly done. A great build of super car.

We demand a WIP! Very nice build and one of my favourite colour schemes.

Is it the Fujimi kit? I've got a few critisms of the kit itself after looking it over thoroughly whilst researching for my 1/8th version and I'm wondering if anyone else agrees with me on this, but I think the doors tops are about 2-3mm too low. This is especially noticable on the Gulf version for some reason but doesn't notice on this build. I'm also sure that the base of the windscreen should be horizontal instead of sloping forward as on the kit.

Getting ready to be flamed!

Re: Martini 917K
Thanks to all. I agree the plastic wiper is alittle large but I had trouble getting the etched one to fold prperly and lost part of it. Here is a link to the work in progress.

That's funny, you even posted in the WIP.

Great job, I have this exact one to build. Can't go wrong with a 917.
