Spectacular in a way that only Laurent can do :o)
I have not seen that base pattern for ages - one of the first models Laurent ever built for me had that (an MR Collection black/tan Porsche 356 Pre-A, as a matter of fact).

Model looks fantastic. Usually do not like the ones factory built but this looks really good. Although I cannot help but think that the wheels are on the wrong way: I would say the wheels currently fitted at the front should be on the rear as they have a larger offset...?? Surely the builder did it correct but it does not serm right to me?
Then again, the difference in diameter makes me doubt... |

Thanks. Factory one's don't even come close if you do a side by side comparison.
Wheels are correct. |

| Agreed, Laurents paintwork is really above the rest. Wait till you'll see the 288GTO Evoluzione (open/close) he is building for me. SImply out of this world. |

Going by the instructions, one would have the wheels positioned in the photos above but going by the actual car itself, it has been rotated like the photos below. Laurent had them rotated to match the actual car itself.

| Ah, so it was incorrect. Did not dare thinking it was built wrong... Or at least, the instructions were wrong! Now it looks perfect!! Awesome build! |
