Thank you for all your nice comments! :-)
Reading them is the best motivation to go on with my modeling projects.

The BT55 is not entirely finished as I still want to add a driver figure. As soon as it is ready, I am going to post a few more pictures.

Whoa! That's a nice looking BT55! And one of the nicest things about it, for me, is the top cowl fits on without a great big gap (like you see on so many plastic kits). Nice work, Steffen. The MP4/5 looks pretty nice too!

Cheers,
Chris

The driver figure is now finished.
I have found decals by a "unknown company" which were not that easy to work with. I think the problem was that the decals are designed for a different driver figure with a different helmet. So I had some fitting problems. Nevertheless the result looks okay for me:

Elio sets the model off perfectly. Very nicely cast figure.
