Before I pull the trigger on one of these kits can anyone recommend whether to get a ST27 or Wave kit? What are their respective strengths/weaknesses? I've never seen let alone built either brand. Resin and p/e is not an issue for me, neither is engine detail being mandatory. In addition I've got th...

There are many good reasons why Hulkenberg would be a good choice. However, for me there is only one reason why he should get the seat, and one reason alone.

Still can't seem to get this photo lark right. https://i.postimg.cc/LXGp6yW4/20200307-145032.jpg Exhausts all over the shop. https://i.postimg.cc/fbLn7nnT/20200307-145038.jpg This was another big screw up. The brake ducts can have a "variable" position but I didn't spot they were not symme...
