Very nice - especially the work to polish out the clearcoat!

Very nice model you have there! Your paint is very shiny. :)

One comment though, I think the butterfly shape steering wheel belongs to Hakkinen. Coulthard uses the other one provided in the kit.

< /the professor? good news everyone!!! < /the professor>

The SMS Mp4/13 decals have arrived with the final West decal!!! I'll be adding this decal tonight and then going through the clear coat \ polishing motions asap. So watch this space!

As a bonus, the test scheme decals are also included, so I can see a curbside mp4/13 with Zero paints orange test scheme on the horizon =)
