I guess I'm just too lazy for that one-off stuff right now...maybe someday when I'm retired. It was much easier to build my ERA replica, as the body was done by those guys in New Britain. I have no doubt you'll get it right, as I've seen your Ferrari. Good luck.

I'm sitting here looking at the MPC kit, my foam body and a side view of a Kirkham 427... I think I have to go laminate some more foam and re-do my drawings and start over. I am noticing some particulars that I had overlooked and feel like the body I have is okay, but not RIGHT. I'll post some updates in a day or so after I've made some new progress...
Thanks for the insight guys,
