thanks guys, its been enduring but i am very chuffed with the build, first time full detail build.

Doesn't seem to be much love for the MP4/13 on this forum though?

Hi Pradley,

No love for the MP4/13 ??? For me the MP4/13 has such a great looking livery and you have captured it really well.

Give it time... we waited for 5 years to see your wonderful project reach its conclusion. Your CF work is nice and tidy and the engine bay looks great. I would like to see more pictures after the engine cover is fitted and the wheels are attached. I think you might change your mind about the brake discs once the wheels are fitted.

Cheers, Paul

Your attention to detail -- despite time also spent on the baby -- is amazing. Great work!

Cheers, Chris

No love, how can one not love the MP4/13? That is the car that caught my eye and started me on building F1 kits and joining this great forum. I spent last night reading through this whole thread. I started working on mine but the cold weather here keeps me from painting. I have the Top Studio kit for mine as well. Hope mine turns out as nice as yours.

Thanks for sharing your build. Great work!!

Ken

Thanks for the comments gents - struggling to find time to finish this one off however having just started a new job - lets hope it is not another 5 years

Wowsers, just seen its over a year since my last post. Been very busy with all sorts of stuff.

Anyway back to MP4/13 it has been on the last lap but taking a very long time. Just the body cowelling (sp?) to do, been at it multiple times now, each not happy with the finish.

First time around - decals melting
Second - not entirely happy with paint
Third - CF decals were too light and didnt look right
Fourth - no faults yet, just need to polish polish polish!

Few images to show the CF work underneath:

Ciao

Nice work. The shot from above looks good. Seven years of labour is paying off!

Cheers, Chris
