If you haven't seen/bought any of Kevin's products, his resin is as good as it gets.

Looks great! My only critic would be that the airbox looks way too high when compared to the roll over hoop.

Always liked the variants of the P34. This one is particularly interesting. The last two photos look like they illustrate the downfall of using Fuji film. Back in the day you never used it on a blue subject on an overcast day. Turned everything green. Kodak didn't.

Its an interesting idea, and I do love the P34 but as said, the airbox is completely wrong (too high, and with a wrong inlet shape) so its a bit of a do-over :(
Also, as the prototype has different markings, like the numbers, it could/should come with decals as well...

Decals shouldn't be a problem for Michael. ;)

I just talked with Kevin about the height problem of the air box this morning. After taking a good look at it, he has made a correction and it now sits consistently lower. Anyone purchasing these parts will have the corrected air box.
