Looks good. I forget how most 1967 cars did not have the engine as a stressed member. Keep up the great job!

Thanks Gary, Duane and Jordan.
The Lotus 49 was the first F1 car especially designed to have the engine as a stressed member. Yet another trend started by Chapman. The only cars that preceded the 49 used the BRM H16 engine which was too heavy and unreliable.

Hi,
Stunning! I love the car, the pilot and the kit! I myself have the 1/20 and wonder if it won't be the next purchase...
Bravo. Can't wait to see more.
