    You should.
    Get that critical input on how to improve
    Especially you hopefully will find someone to show models with wiring and share the materials he/she uses to pick up on the only thing needing any work on your builds !!!
    Also, from your work here, MANY coudl benefit from seeign yoru results !!!!

    I know, I'd really like to start wiring engines, kind of make my modelling skills more rounded, but not exactly complete!

    The orange R390 is very cool...and the builder converted this Tamiya race version kit to the stradale concept of his own design.
