[Dave V]

F*** yeah! That’s gorgeous. Upping my anticipated order to 3.

Looks much better in paint. Even just primer. I prime my own stuff for my own eyes cause the resin is slightly transparent and messes with my eyes.

I am following this thread with great interest even though I am not an SPF, and I highly appreciate the efforts being made to get the details of this car as correct as possible.

However, upon looking at the most recent photos of the model and at the photo of the original, it appears to me that the baggage door portholes and the reinforced rivet line under the portholes on the doors is too high, with the top of the arc of the portholes being noticeably further down from the outside top edge of the door opening in the prototype photo than in the model photo.

Perhaps the angle of the model photo magnifies this, but when I visualize a line from the rivet line to the outside vertical edges of the baggage door in the model photo, it isn't low enough.

I've posted photos from this thread to easily compare, and, I think it should be pretty evident to see what I'm seeing.

I'm also assuming that fixing this would be pretty simple, and make a noticeable improvement in the prototype appearance of the model.

@Lemosteam - Keep up the excellent work!

Cheerio!

I’ll take a look at the image overlay in CAD. Easy correction if required.

Could you just try a lower angle pic of the model from the same perspective as the prototype pic?

You were correct sir. The door is now corrected.
