Also built from the Monogram Super Bee kit. I missed out on the DM version and now it's out of my price range on the secondary market so I built my own LOL. Thanks for looking guys.

Geno:  Your attention to detail is superb.  I have built a lot of kits in my day, but none quite as nice as yours.  Your engine compartment is just a detailed as a DM.

Thanks John, I appreciate that, When I build I try to reference as many 1:1 photos as possible. When someone looks at my collection I want them to have a difficult time distinguishing between what's built and whats bought LOL. One little detail I like to add if you look at the windshield wipers, A thin strip of electrical tape makes for a convincing wiper blade. Will most people notice? Probably not but I like the look. Wink LoL
