Hey you are off to a great start! I never knew that kit was molded in red. Tires and wheels look great, looking forward to seeing that engine all wired up!!

Hello Master Kemp!

I didn't expect your visit here so soon. I really need to say that your Projects are my references and thank you for sharing with us your projects. I'm doing my best to achieve your level of reality. Unfortunately I don't have some materials and metal parts as you have, but I'm glad with my results until now.

Here are the pictures of the engine wired up and some details with Mr. Model Hex Nuts.






Waiting for your feedback.
Denilson
