[Shunter]

That paint looks superb Michael !
I am amazed how clean your builds are! Well done. I'm keen to see more progress!

[daniel]

the paint is very good ! very clean edge between white and yellow...

BUT I spotted an very visible sinkmark are you covering it with some heatshield ? and please add some wiring to the kit, will add so much detail.
I like your MP 4/13 but looks a little "dead" without any cabling altough you allready have some plugs..

Some decals applied. I'm using my own set of decals on this.

Very nice indead, can you give us some details on how you did the interior Aluminium finish?

It's also one of my alltime favorite, back when car liveries made sense.

[indycals]

All the aluminum is just Tamiya TS30 silver. I tried doing the tub with Alclad Polished aluminum, but that stuff is a nightmare to work with and I was very unhappy with the finish. I'm just going for a straight out of the box clean build.

Also I did make one change to the decals. Originally my sheet was based right off the kit decals, but when doing a test fitting on the engine cover with one of the numbers, it just did not fit well, so I added an additional 12 degrees of slant to the numbers to give a better fit - you'll see them when the car is finished.

Here's the footbox:




And the tub (mockup stage at this point - not all glued together)
