Ettore,
indeed a cool little model you have build there. And yes, as you said, the result of my work is not that bad, but realizing it would take me as much time to get the rear in order and looking at all other flaws in this kit (cockpit interior, dash, exhausts...), I don't think it will be worth it (again, I might reconsider ... the body has been re-united using some solder ...). One of the lessons learned for building in 1/43 is that you either start from a more sophisticated kit (MFH, Tameo, Renaissance,...) or that you abstract from building a life-like model and end up with a kind of matchbox car (which is perfectly ok, not just my thing at this point).
Work has been started on my 1/24 project (a WIP soon..).
Wim.
