I'm not sure I even want to start my 312T with this kind of work. Switches in the top photo on the left of the wiring? Holy cow! I did check one set of PE for this kit... Scale Motors... $200. That's more than I paid for the kit. I've sprung for the brake ducts as they look cool as hell.
You are an amazing craftsman, Chris. You are building more of a replica than a model and I admire the hell out of it. But I just can't put $500 or so into a $150 kit.
I hope I don't embarrass myself!
Keep up that great work!

Thank you again for assisting me with the photos, and the kind words. And yes you can spend $500 or more, if you want to 😉😁😁 |

Chris, what size is the wiring from the gauges? The wire is .40mm it’s about the same size as plug wire for 1/24 scale |

OK, enough joking around. That is a real Ferrari, right?
(I'm with Patrick, or Peter, I'd be embaressed to build mine.)

That said Chris, what do you think of doing the monocoque in Molotow Chrome with a dull coat afterwards to tone it down? |

I would try it on a scrap piece to see if you like the results

What's not to like. You're doing an excellent job on it.
