Done, finally.
As always the finishing touches take forever, with lots of worries about a big fat thumbful of glue in the middle of a hood or a windshield; but it all worked out reasonably OK.
These artisan resin kits need lots of fiddling, and I won't deliver a rant because this is the tradeoff that allows me to build kits of obscure stuff like this 1957 Maserati 450S, here in the Le Mans livery driven by Behra and Simon where either transmission failure or an accident (Wikipedia isn't clear) took the car out after only 3 hours. Still a magnificent brute; and Fangio won at Sebring in the same car.
The only adjustment might be the paint on the exhaust, where the flat white heat paint should show some rust or discoloration; but my attempt with Tamiya washes failed and so it's back to flat white.
So what's next? Who knows! I've been busy with other things, obviously; in past years I'd have completed as many as 10 or 12 kits by late July. Stay tuned!
