Great pics. Great image by Brooklin.
The Wildcat will take extra detailing with foil and paints incredibly well I think. A vinyl top, chrome drip mouldings, semi-gloss black roof rail weatehrstrip, etc. will make this an even more appealing model. And that is without an overall recolor.

John, I'm impressed that you were successful in installing the power antenna. Too tiny for me!

Very nice.

An easy way to install these small parts Brian is to put a small piece of Bluetak on to a cocktail stick, gently pick up the part via the Bluetak, put a bit of PVA in the hole, wiping off any surplus with a damp rag, then popping the bit in the hole et voila.

That is exactly how I did it. I had read it somewhere and tried for the first time. Worked great!

What a beauty, John. Your pictures have sold me on this one!
One of Brooklin's best yet it looks to me. That was massive car and the model captures it well. Thanks again for such great pictures, John.
