Thanks or sharing these photos! They'll be very helpful for me, and others, in the detailing the model. what a treat to be able to get up close to such a rare machine.

Just a small update, I've been painting and polishing the bodywork which is time consuming.
This is an example of why I decided to remove the rivets on the gas tank. you can see the lines in the bottom of the tank which I didn't refinish as it won't be seen much. I assume the lines are from the 3d printed master. it would be nearly impossible to get a smooth finish without removing the rivets. the other piece, the lower side of the tank looked the same before refinishing. I would not have been happy with the result. it does create a ton of work though.
rivets and washers (in the background) ready for paint and primer. there are scale hardware RT12 rivets and RB motion #1252C washers. the washers come on a rubber backing that I think will make them easier to paint.
other painted bits.
all painted, I hope I can get those washers off the backing ok. we will see.

Wow, that must have been a pain in the ...youknowwhat. Removing all the rivets and maybe the boltheads
or whatever the larger thingies are and then smooth out the surface, drill the holes, paint the rivets and
insert them.
I can't remember exactly, but the tail of the 250F had like a million (or what feels like it anyway) rivets.
I once did a texture for a 3D model of this car (GPL'55 mod anyone)... And yea, I'm on of the rivet counter
types... fun times.
The nose cone in one of the pictures makes me itch to see the assembled car. It will be another master
piece for sure. Top notch work !
