Hi thanks to all who looked in and left comments much appreciated, time for experiment with body work,as I don't have airbrush,so it was primed with Halfords grey,then Halfords gloss black,polished up with tamiya polishing system,decal applied, then sprayed with plasticote clear,and it's reasonable, got tamiya wax on order, so should bring it up bit more.anyhow now found way to do body work OK for me, this won't be last F1 car I do.cheers mick. mogwai attached the following image(s): Builds hms victory, suzuki gsx 1300 R hayabusa, honda C B 750, lamborghini countach L P 500 S, tamiya 1/16 rc full option tiger 1 tank,

Hi thanks to all who looked in and left comments much appreciated. Done bit more on this,the wheels bin done,the polycaps are way to tight for the delicate suspension to take the push on force so had to scrape bit of wheel pins to make them very light fit.the rear suspension now complete, the radiators bin put in, plus there connection pipes, instructions say put these in after side panels. But there one connection right under the engine, which would have been impossible with these in place, the airfilter on top the engine put on, and the throttle link put in. That completes the internals, just body work now.cheers mick. mogwai attached the following image(s): Builds hms victory, suzuki gsx 1300 R hayabusa, honda C B 750, lamborghini countach L P 500 S, tamiya 1/16 rc full option tiger 1 tank,
