UPDATE ON LATEST LECC!! This just in this morning...
From Raffi to Jay and me: "The pattern is done with round 1 of fabrication.Disregard the side wind wings, they are coming off. Per Raffi, "They ruin the look of the windscreen." Jay and I heartily concur!
"I have 23 comments on the pattern so far. Those corrections are being done this week."
He went on to say, "The ridge or gully along the rear deck behind the seat back will be filled in smoothly and properly contoured. This was a fabrication error as a support trough for the top in the UP position. Wheels are only for position and scaling. More detail to follow. Front axle and brake drum housings not completed, but will be."
Here's some tantalizing shots!!

It will be an outstanding model................
I am not in resin but I am tempted by this one. There are nice improvements on the undercarriage details.
A few question for Raffi.....any fender wells for the spare tires? Is the blue and grey color combo set for production?
In my opinion you should look at a better color combo.

The blue and silver had been chosen from the outset...
..and we feel confident that it will be received as well as Miami Sand. Or not. :))

Well......my opinion..............
this outstanding subject would have been more attractive in a different color combo like burgundy and silver. I never found a picture of a silver and blue Auburn.
Maybe it is the reason the decision has been made to go "exclusive" in the color scheme.
