Feel that one! saw my brother build his! Got those 251 are small compared to a tiger! All those small pieces! I envy Vinnie for pulling them of so fast!
Nice paintjob, the interior looks very nice, can't wait to see this one done

Looking good so far Karl, but as Vinnie pointed out already, the joint at the back lets it down a bit. Would be worth filling and fixing up, after all the effort elsewhere.
I saw your previous post and liked the finish on the wooden seats ... did you scrape of one of the colours to get that effect? If not, how did you do it?
Mines is still sitting and waiting. Only the interior is base coated, so I have that joint to do as well. Ive dry-fitted top and bottom halves, 100 times, but Im still dreading it.
