Time to show some photos from the progress.The cowling needs some corrections.

Side pods are cast in one part and a need a division in the single parts and the panel lines are too wide.

Your progress is realy fast and looks great depending on the base you are using, no matter if MFH comes up with this car, yours can take on a contest with MFH.
Good job!
Take a stand!
