Using micromesh I have buffed up the plastic cockpit glass I am waiting for some rivets to turn up to detail it. Friday I will clear coat and post the finished results when it's all done :)

Hope your eyesight is good Mark! They look painfully small but will add that extra added detail to what is already a stunning model kit. Looking forward to your next update! Spencer

A great job there Mark but a small observation about the Marly Decals you have used, These where not used on James Hunts M23 as he had the plain black Font. The ones you've used belong to Nelson Piquet's 78 M23 although James Hunts M26 had them in later years. Spencer

If your striving for "the most detailed buid possible", then the only way to go is to put it right.
All the same it looks great, well done!

Not as flat as I wanted plus I had an accident and dropped it and it picked up a few tiny contaminants

HI Mark. On the 1/20 model that I'm building there is a fine moulded ridge that defines the edge of the red painted area. Is it the same on this kit or you having to draw it out yourself?

Me to, but I think the colour match won't be great.
