Ok, I dug this back out.........there is already another building Peter's car and watching him has got the build bug stired up............seeing what I can do to revive this build.
I also have smoked over the kit f/Emerson Fittipaldi..........have a pile of stuff from Mac's for that one.

I do have what I hope is not a stupid question........on the M23's raditor pods, I understand that the bottle of the tunnel and the side of the body is orange, but is the upper inside of the tunnel orange as well, I have searched hundreds of photos to determine if this is orange or white??????????????
