Hi Warren Great looking car and the time its taking you shows how well the kit must be put together.
Makes me think about the skills of the peron(s) who originally made the kit. They must have developed the body off pictures (would ford have lent them a mould doubt it) through computer rendering, then transposed the BA parts onto the kit. Doubt if ford gave him these drawings either so he would have measured them all. Then hours of work taking the computer drawings and turning them into reality.
There are some clever bastards out there (like Fastpatrick on another thread here) I take my hat off to them.

Bruce,
You just can't imagine how skilled Denis is until you see this kit and the way it goes together.
