How historically accurate is the body shape?

The kit focuses on authentic external proportions and bodywork of the BT50, reflecting the car as campaigned in the early 1980s.

Can this kit be finished to period correct livery?

Yes, with suitable paints and decals obtained separately, builders can reproduce era-correct liveries and markings.

Are there any visible mechanical details once assembled?

While external details are faithful, the kit does not leave the engine visible after full assembly; detailing concentrates on body and cockpit areas.

Use thin paint layers, precise masking for panel lines, and a decal setting solution for a realistic finish that highlights panel definition and markings.
