It's going to be a real bummer adding the final accurate touches, like grazing the odd stone wall, pasting on a few dead flies. All in the name of accuracy, of course. Hmm, I wonder if there's a Porsche part number for the correct species of dead Sicilian fly?

At the moment I'm trying to decide between B&Q or Homebase for the duck tape on the front arch.....

For accuracy Homebase wasn't around back in the day, B&Q was just, but would suspect some European based DIY chain. Obi maybe?
