I would like to acknowledge the invaluable help I have received from several contributors to this forum, who have sent me photographs and measured dimensions from cars and bodywork that they own. Thanks a lot you guys.
I have still not yet personally seen a real (or replica) T70 spyder in the flesh and trying to get the proportions and some of the details more or less right from photographs has been driving me crazy, not helped by the fact that the model I started with, the original 60 series cars in period (and now), the Heritage cars, the GD / RCR narrow shell replicas etc are all slightly different in certain areas to each other.
I have tried to take the bits that I liked best from each of these cars and will hopefully end up with something that I at least think looks good. I am now happy with most of it, just want to do a bit more work on the rear air intakes, I now think they need to be a bit smaller and lean back less.
Cheers
