Looking great already! May I ask, what tools did you use to cut out those panels so cleanly?
Cheers,
Marcus

Thank's everyone this will give me headhache ..... i really dont have idea if it will work well or not... and where i have to begin too let's see
Marcus: i use a sharp scalpel and go several times (hundreds :/ ) trough it until it cut, but it's not so clean, pictures show it better than what it it in real.... that's why i have used this platicard too

The Scud's looking really great. The patience and effort to cut out the hood and rear deck has really paid off, gonna be a real gem when it's all wrapped up.
Looking forward to seeing more.
Cheers,
Chris

So now that body is a bit ok i will continue with chassis.
First the brakes, i have used the dremel a sanding paper for making a more realistic structure than the photoetched.
Used some simulated bolts too.
