And some detail up sets:

-Hobby design F430 engine super detail set
-Hobby design window mask
-16M detail up set including: 2x photoetched sheet, resin wheels, valves, metal decal set, turned exhaust

I will of course add more things, like rivets, carbon fiber decal, piping, full opening etc...

I have chosen this subject because it's one of my all time favourites and i will do a full open kit, never made one from plastic and never made one with both doors openable on a road car. So i think it will be a good challenge :D

Cutted front and rear bonnet first. Doors will come later on. I have sanded all the body too and cutted some thin plastic sheet to put it on both front and rear opening.

The cutting process has opened a hole too big. so with this i correct it.

I need to sand it a bit but that's why i dont have cuttec away doors for the moment. I will first work on this,with doors away body will be too fragile to really work on it safely.

Nice work so far, especially like how you have done the bonnet opening. Look forward to seeing more as you progress :)
