I'm doing a lot of trial fitting here so as not to go too far and realise that I've missed some fettling or drilling process.
The body parts will have to get paint at an early stage. So some careful handling needed during later assembly.RM1 attached the following image(s):

Very nice work Malc, I am seriously impressed by how you are coping with what I believe you said was your first 'multimedia' kit - how are you finding it and are you enjoying it? Certainly looks like you are from your photos?! 
Those resin parts for the cockpit tub look beautifully moulded too!

Interesting detail on the rear bulkhead. I've polished the center part and painted the bracing struts. The electric fuel pump fits on here. I'm going to add some wiring and hoses that are not part of the kit.RM1 attached the following image(s):

Looking very good Malc especially with some of that classic McLaren orange paint and I know I've already said this but those resin chassis parts look even more sublime in your latest photos. I do like your homemade brass trestles too, very good.
This is going to be a fabulous model when finished Malc, well done on your progress so far!
