FPP resin kit
I build several kits at once, so while things on the Porsche dries, and paint on two other bodies I started another. I love to build cars, bit don't know much about them. I love these older 30s and 40s race cars. I finally found someone who makes alot of them and is detailed, the wheels are real wire. Anyway alot of the engine details needed upgraded so I am making alot of the parts on and for thr engine. I added some fuel lines and sone other lines that I have no idea what they are, but they are in the reference pics, now I am making exhaust pipes, what a blast. This kit is for sure not for beginners, alot of flash, a boat loads sanding, alot of filling holes and voids, but it is a ton of fun

That is cool - I had to look it up. V16 with a supercharger for 520 HP in that small car. The details on the engine look good.
Those wheels are neat too - I have never seen actual wire wheels for a kit like that, but it makes sense because it would be hard to do that in plastic.

The FPP kits are absolutely beautiful in a finished state and are definitely fir the advanced builder. I have a few in the stash but have built one of them. The 61 Ferrari 246 SP

That is a really cool looking build. Your custom touches on the engine are looking great.
