Are these cars for all for you and family/friends Patrice? Or are these to sell on?
They look great so I'm sure there would be plenty of customers!

They are mainly for me and my family. I race with one of my son Historic Rally with saab, Anglia, Dolomite.... and track and hill climb with Anglia, Turner... Sometime I rent some cars for rally classic. Only kit cars are for sale. |

Patoune - I do enjoy following your builds, you do great work. 
Can I just ask what black paint you are using on the Spitfire body shell?
And do you do any special kind of preparation before painting?
Thanks and ' Bon Chance', Paul.

Hi Paul,
About special kind of preparation...
No other solution, the most economical, brushing, brushing, brushing ...
Paint use is
Good luck to you too! |

There is a risk that the D-Type with a windsceen will end up looking a bit like the XKSS
The hood on mine should hopefully be neater though |

Patoune - I like the fact the paint is also good for school blackboards & table tennis tables.
( If my very poor French has read that correctly. )
Merci, Paul.

Patrice,
don't know if you have seen these or not but It would be a shame to have a blue D-type and not have these to adorn the wings....

I need to see them both together and talk with Chris to see if this will work. I seem to be in a minority of one in not liking the back end of the d-type but that doesn't mean Im wrong.
When I shift the G46 we can see how this progresses but I might pop down to Poole for a coffee and a chat next athursday.

We have Patrice's A352 shell and a Mistral rear end at the workshop for you to look at. See you on Thursday Nick  |

Wow, fast work. It's only taken me 21 months to get to roughly the same stage.
Love the colour, it was on my list.
