looks really good job that Carlo.

cannot wait to see it built up and with the black getting done on the shell,sets it right off.

are you putting the soilid black line down the side again or going for the later look with the pin stripes with the bullets.

i prefer it with the pin stripes too.

you have to lose the 2.0 badges off the wings too then.

are you putting the back panel rs2000 decal on too.

Stoo,

th seats are different shaped to the fishnet ones so may not suit having roll top seats with fishnet head reats.

Carlo....pics are up finally.
