Fred, I'm everywhere ;) hehe and Herman is correct, a lot of people, me included will be looking to your early Porsche build as foundation for our own builds ;)

Herman: I'm afraid my build blog got deleted from another forum a few years ago along with all my other build threads - they were up on militarymodelling but somewhere along the line the forum disappeared =( Such a shame as I can no longer remember what colours/brand and materials I used =(

But my brother did a video of my F01 anyway for those who wants to see it.

Wonderful build. Only side note - Ferdinand Porsche had nothing to do with design of turret. it was made by Krupp company. Same with production turret - made by Krupp not Henschel :)
