Having started on stage 20 I thought I might just share my experiences with anybody who is just getting ready to start on the wiring part of the build.
Having spent a good part of yesterday fitting all the wiring and sticking it down with the tape supplied I got up today to discover all the tape had peeled away from the bodywork that it was stuck to.
To resolve this I have mixed up a bit of epoxy glue which dries clear and put a very tiny dab of it on the tape and stuck it back down.
This looks to solved the problem and hopefully is a permanent solution to the problem as the tape is not sticky enough on its own.
Obviously this may not be everybodys solution but just thought I would post my experience of this fiddly part of the build.

I had this problem when I was sticking the brake lines to the wishbones. apparently you have to be careful not to get your fingers on the sticky side when sticking it to the model as it looses its stickiness. I am tempted to use insulation tape cut to the right size when I come to this stage Senna mclaren mp4/4 build complete mp4/4 build http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12029

I thought of that too but I could see myself getting the insulation tape stuck to my clumsy fingers😊.
A dab of glue has worked for me so it's sorted but i wish they had come up with a tidier solution.
