    I started this late 2013, a few small modifications to the way parts fit together, back on the work bench now !

    Thanks Louis, a little bit of progress, decals and a bit more paint on the instrument panel, engine, gearbox and some suspension together, working on this between finishing my cats !

    Having seen the bikes that brought home the bacon at the show I can't wait to see this shape up - great choice and great work so far!

    Gluing the engine in with some encouragement for it to sit in the right place with some inter-cooler parts being modified and most of my models have wings, this one is no exception !

    Excellent, Allan! I'm admiring your Porsche from the comfort of my front Porch. 😉

    It looks like it's doing about 160 kph sitting still! (Uh, for us non-metric ferrineers, that's about 100 mph.)
