Stage 99. Left rear wheel and tyre. I am not fitting this just yet as it will make it difficult fitting the wing in a couple of stages. I'll fit both wheels after that.

Looking great Steve.
There is more 'flipping it over' right at the end...

Cheers Roy. Looking forward to flipping it again🤦♂️. Stage 102, rear wing built and fitted and the left rear wheel fitted. I really can't understand why they tell you to put the left rear wheel on before mounting the wing. It would have been next to impossible!

Well stage 103 is finally done. The second wheel and tyre is actually another stage 99 as there seems to be an issue with stage 103 in that the plastic barrel is too large but stage 99 is fine even though it's an identical stage🤷♂️. Anyway it's done now and it's looking tough😲😲! Steve279021 attached the following image(s): Senna mclaren mp4/4 build complete mp4/4 build http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12029

Stage 106. Steering wheel and front wing end plate skid plates. I have decided not to install the display mounts on the bottom of the chassis for now as I think it'll look better on display without then. If it's an issue then I install them later Steve279021 attached the following image(s): Senna mclaren mp4/4 build complete mp4/4 build http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12029

I have now added the extra waterside decals to the chassis now as the chassis will no longer be visible on my build pics. Obviously I can't put the pics on here with them on but I will say that they look awesome👍 Senna mclaren mp4/4 build complete mp4/4 build http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12029

Stage 107. Body nose and securing pins. The gaps in the clips were a bit large so I used some pliers to close up the gap otherwise the pins wouldn't have stayed in the clips Steve279021 attached the following image(s): Senna mclaren mp4/4 build complete mp4/4 build http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12029

Finished!!! Stage 110. Right rear winglet and windscreen fitted. Complete body fitted to chassis. Well what a fantastic build this has been and I've loved every minute of it. Gonna miss it but glad it's finished. I'm eyeing up the rb19 now🤔. Anyway, I hope you've all enjoyed the build too for the ones that have been following it and hope it encourages others to subscribe to it. Especially as its on offer at the moment👍. Here's the final pics. I'll be adding some special extra pics tonight so keep an eye out for them, they will be good😍.

Well done there.
It looks fantastic.
By all means post pics with the decals added, but blur the decals as DeAgostini can't advertise on the website or forum.
I heartily go with the RB19 as it'as an amazing kit.
Roy.

Cheers Roy👍. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to upload the other pics. They were the 97t sitting next to the mp4/4 and looked great. Not sure why but when I blurred out the decals on the mp4 the pics only came up as downloads so I've given up on that.

I had to just cut the Pics right down to the best i could do. Also I weighed them both. Couldn't believe the difference Steve279021 attached the following image(s): Senna mclaren mp4/4 build complete mp4/4 build http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12029

Looks fab! How did you find the decals? And did you get that carrier film off?
I just finished the MP4/4 and had major problems with the Shell and Honda ones...so ended up having to use third-party ones.
