Wow!!! This has to be your best model to date, well at least my favourite. I love all the extra little details you have done to this kit. Among all the other Pete kits I have seen built, this one really stands out.

Thanks guys, one of the great things I have found about forums like this is the things one can learn from fellow modellers. Reworking Italeri's drive hubs, Alclad finishes, Plano etched mesh, MCG Pete emblems are all examples of items I learned about from others who were willing to share the info.

Thanks guys, tires were sanded with 120 grit paper (wet/dry, I used it dry on the tires) along corner where sidewall joins tread, on tread surface and on back side where there is a noticeable ring on sidewall. After sanding a Scotchbrite pad used to blend everything together. Fine steel wool could be used in place of the Scotchbrite pad.

Outdoor shots are killer! You should take a pic with the Beer Store in the background.

You've probably heard all of the superlatives already but I'll add mine. Outstanding.
Best regards,
