Thanks guys  Here is the next update. Basically this section is all about he engine. The 1mm pipework for the HT leads and fuel lines are a VERY tight fit! Had to warm the ends up with the wife's hairdrier to get them to expand enough to fit CaptnBirdseye attached the following image(s):

Next the exhausts are fitted, along with the fuel tank, and bodywork braces. I lacquered the bodyshell, nosecone and tail fin, and attached all with small screws provided. Seat and seat belts were made up next, and installed. Wheels were fitted, the applied the decals. I decided om Bruno giacomelli colours for the car. He was the constant team member from 79 to 81...that and his number is 23 which is the wife's birthday (yes today - brownie points methinks ) Anyway, she is finallt complete...

Don't know how I missed this one Graham, but nice work on what is one of the lesser known Grand Prix cars and well done for producing such a nice model - it looks great!
