O.K. folks!
This is it... my program for this kit's build:
1.- For the respect I have for this particular car AND the kit, I will not change it in any way. The kit assembly will represent the 1951 car just at it was, BUT, I commit myself in doing the highest degree of superdetailing I'm capable of. (Here comes in the amount of data I have collected to this date, and more while the kit gets to my hands)
2.- I will draw in Autocad as many special details I can, to help me in superdetailing, as usual I'll share those drawings with all of you.
3.- Any part that comes with the kit I consider non realistic, I'll scratchbuild it using the nearest material to reality possible.
4.- I will receive important quantities of scale bolts & nuts from Dan, so as I usually try to do, whenever possible I'll change glueing for bolting. (I'll try to assemble the model in such a way that theoretically you'll be able to dismantle it completely with no destruction whatsoever)
5.- I know beforehand that this kit has a sensible flaw, that it is very weak in some subassemblies due to it's finished weight, this will force me to scratchbuild many parts in metal.
6.- I will also share with you all the data I have along with the building, so if anyone wishes to build the same kit, he'll get a lot of work already done, on the other hand, all the stages of this build will help you with any other model.
7.- I'll try to use new techniques along the assembly, in such a way to get the highest ball I've ever had with a big scale kit.
8.- And many other things I don't know now, but will necessarily appear during the build!
Wish me luck!!!
