That must have been an exciting project for your uncle Bob.

After a serious effort at the workbench today I'm declaring this one finished.

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement chaps.

It's been cold and wet outside, great modelling weather me thinks so lets have another shiny one. End of day one chassis, engine and drive train sort.

I saw the logo on the engine too.

Nothing wrong with my eyes!

Sherlock Smith has got it. This is the Revell R8 Spyder. An enjoyable build so far.
