Meaning this makes right hand turns as well... Here's my 1st attempt at a resin kit. It's a Penelope Pitstop '57 Maserati 250 driven in practice at Monaco by Juan Manuel Fangio. I weathered it a bit, did a bit of pin wash, and finished it with a dull coat since they never were that shiny back then (it's missing the rear view mirror and the tires still need to be sanded as well).
I haven't figured out a way to attach the aero screen. Suggestions?

Excellent job! I really like the flat painting scheme.
For attaching the aero screen I suggest using GS-Hypo: it is transparent when it cures and comes with a needle applicator.

That is very nice, the flat paint and hint of patina and driver detail is just perfect. Very stylish...

Great build there, love the weathering and overall finish.
Try Gio's suggestion for the screen or use Canopy Glue Formula 560...it is a PVA/CA clone and dries in 30mins and importantly dries clear.
