Under risk of boring readers with too many in progress updates, I'm posting small update again. Some would probably say - "Finish the damn thing !"
But unfortunately I don't get as much time to work on model as I used to, this days. And my past experience is strongly suggests to never rush model
builds, again.

I'm inching forward very slowly. Got only one night to work on it, instead of expected 3 over the weekend. Things didn't go to plan, as often happens
with my modeling. Added bottom plank and installed PE items on rear suspension arms. Main things completed are front suspension and attached nose.
Looks a bit more like a Formula1 car now.

That's looking really good. Whilst I'm not a fan of the current breed of cars you are making a fantastic job. Take as long as you need, we will keep watching...

AWESOME!!!!
Take your time. As said before, we'll follow

Thanks for sharing

Good progress, it's looking really nice. The colour looks good as well. Having seen the 'real' colour at the Donington GP Collection, I'd say you were pretty close with that chrome..!!

[Eagle50]

Yeah, I love the chrome finish, too! Looks great in the sunshine!

I can't believe anyone would get bored with too many updates from you. Personally, I find your builds a great source of knowledge and motivation to get some of these kits I've been hesitant to attempt completed. Keep the updates coming!

Thanks for kind words.

Some progress on this model. Concentrated on wings this weekend. First gearbox/rear suspension sub-assembly was permanently attached. Then I've built up rear wing as per
instructions and later attached it to the mounting point over rear crash structure and the floor. Because of many attachment points, three in this case, alignments wasn't an
issue for this model. Same as it wasn't for F10 either. Front wing is not 100% complete and not yet attached. I'm still debating in my mind if I should add some PE items to
front wing. I plan to attach front wing to nose later, when I'm done with all other items, so I don't handle model much afterwards and have less chances to brake it off. I still
have to create seat belts and install some PE to body shell, before I marry can it with the floor. Wheels and tires are still in mock up state. First time in my modeling history
I will have to glue tires to the wheels. Fujimi tires are a bit wobbly and don't stay put on wheels. Then I will need to make logos on tires. Not sure what approach will be best yet.

This kit has never really appealed to me - I'm not sure why, as I'm a Button fan...

Once again however, seeing it (substantially) completed has me thinking I might 'need' one after all..... Lovely work Sergey on a build that many of us would have walked away from a long time ago...

I really ought to stop coming here.. It's not good for my bank balance
