    Thanks @chinesegeorge, @fiveten, @johnb, @anthonyricco for your kind comments. It is much appreciated! Thanks Anthony regarding the chjpping... race cars in general get used and abused and there are always chips and wear mostly on the chassis and cockpit, and some on the outer bead of the wheel rims. Thanks for looking guys and happy modeling. It is sad that most of the other builds on this group seem to be stagnant.

    Morning Ladies and Gentlemen. Well, with the 24 hours running this coming weekend, it is time to complete my Porsche 917 build. The kit went together okay, but a bit of surgery was required to get the windscreen to fit. The wiper is the only fiddly item which has bothered me and is still to be fitted, but I was told it didn't rain in 1971...LOL. Thanks for taking a look and enjoy the race!

    You should just get it in headlines in time, @rory, but you know what those scrutineers are like, they probably won’t let you race without a windscreen wiper.
