A little more progress today. thought i would do a couple of bits before the F1 & got a little carried away  and almost assembled the rear end  other than repainting all gearbox and fixtures i did decide to change the Braided hose, as i felt the kit version was not quite right, so the scale is or should look better Regards Dan dandare attached the following image(s): Built - MP4/23, Zero, Deagostini Falcon, Model Airways 1903 Wright Flyer, Senna Mp4/4.

Very nice work as always Dan and yes, those braided hoses do look better? Nice to see that you are inserting some cable inside the hollow braid to stop it kinking and give a more rounded profile?
Well done - looking forward to the next update.

Kev Thank you Kev i must admit the cable is just a fluke, but makes it a lot easier to profile. Regards Dan Built - MP4/23, Zero, Deagostini Falcon, Model Airways 1903 Wright Flyer, Senna Mp4/4.

Keep up the good work mate Spence Thank you Spence its great stuff & the Lacquer is just fantastic, brings out a great finish with very little polishing required, just a de-nib rather than full sand and polish. regards Dan Built - MP4/23, Zero, Deagostini Falcon, Model Airways 1903 Wright Flyer, Senna Mp4/4.
