That looks so sharp, Stu. Really nice job with the aerokit conversion and custom body work. A tip of the hat to Sadler21, too!

Now only if Green light could get that result. Great job on that color looks dead on too. Nice job.

Looks excellent Stu! Did you do the center "fin" down the nose as a decal? Did you use styrene or brass for the front endplates? Whole car turned out excellent, the mirrors look pretty sharp too  |

Thanks Chris. Could not have done this car so well without you!
The fin down the nose is actually a thin piece of styrene. Very scary gluing that sucker on after the fact but pretty simple process. I put a spot of glue on the top edge and glued it down. Once dry I added glue a spot at a time until the piece was glued down completely. It was painted black before doing all this. Front end plates are styrene. Thanks for the kind words.

Man you did one heck of a job on this one Stu! Nailed everything on the car. We'll done sir.
Chris is making life easy for all of us and it it very much appreciated! This 3D printing stuff is a God send for our little hobby that's for sure.

Really well done, Stu. I am glad you were able to change directions on the build when Graham won Fontana because I think that makes this a better build than the Indy 500 car. I hope Graham and the RLL team get to see this, they will flip out!
Additional kudos to Chris on the 3D parts and Michael on the decals, excellent work by all parties on this one.
