WAW, your boss knows what he wants, this kit is absolutely amazing with the PE set for it, I think is a little bit late for you to get it and work with it, I have a couple of this kits and because I don't have the PE set I haven't start on them, you can put so much details to this engine bay that you can expend more the 30 minutes just trying to see everything

Hi all I thought I had done my first colour coat then realised the rear fins should have been white on the outside.

And made a start on scratch building the brake air ducting (these bits are tiny 5x8mm)

For the ducting the plan is to use a spring and some shrink wrap (we will see thats the plan anyway))

Made the air ducts and flexible hose for the brakes and decided (with great trepidation) to try the old kit decals. Seems they're fine (sighs with relief)

More progress on the 956, added detail to the dashboard

And work on the wheels

Dont know why they used 2 different wheels sets (although it makes no difference when you put the 956 covers on as you can hardly see any of the wheel detail)

And more decal work
