Okay,
So I bought this kit from eBay, £150.00 buy it now, offered £125.00 and was accepted!
I will post a picture of the kit when it arrives (Wednesday) and I plan on buying loads of little goodies for it to make it super detailed! I promise this build I will keep you guys informed every step of the way!
This will be good practice while I continue collecting the 1:8 MP4/4
I would imagine all the detail up parts are going to cost me a fortune!
Wish me luck!

Hi mark. great to see that you are going to do this build.  I recently acquired the same kit and have been adding some of the detail extras to the set before starting. (I want to finish my Senna 4/4 before I get going on this super kit) Good luck and I'll be watching with interest. Malc.

A few updates I have done the floor and the front wing, used carbon decals and very very tiny bolts on the wing! Thoughts and comments welcome :)

The 1:12 Tamiya kits are superb and with all the upgrades available they build into museum quality displays. Looking forward to this. Very nice start.

I really like it , those tiny bolts look they might have been a nightmare to fit, great job

Hi Mark, that's a good start !
What size of bolt did you use in that front wing? It looks really fiddly.

New goodies arrived! Thanks to Hiroboy.com  Also here are some additional pics of the undertray, I used earth colours to replicate the wood, sanded them down (earth and sand mixed together on different parts of the floor to give more depth then used a colour wash and sanded down

Very nice work on the undertray, it actually looks like wood thats been scraped along tarmac at high speed!
