Loved the project, brings some taste for more post war projects ?

I painted the sides brown and placed a new nameplate. The pictures are made outside. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to shoot with real blue sky in the background

Thanks to all. The tracks are very individual from Masterclub @David. Very clean, but a lot of work, each track gets a rubber pad and two resin pins. By far the most gorgeous tracks I worked with.

Thank you @mona. I loved to build it, for me a bit out of the box, modern afv, but I learned a couple of new things.
