WIP - Alex's 1/20 MP4/2, PE + CF, Updated 1/17/16
Started just before Christmas
Have the Joe Honda book
All parts are prepped, PE attached, and painted
I will show the layout of parts coming out of paint prior to CF decaling and assembly
Pictures to come soon
Building 1/12 M23 1976 Japanese GP with it

Not happy with The Joe Honda book, no overall pics of naked car and had trouble finding on Internet too, best pics in Schlegemich's old book
I will check Gurney flap, I want some pics of the top of the box behind driver where electronics go

Interesting how you prepaint it so far ahead of assembly - I tend to assemble as much as I can to paint a unit. Always scared of messing up the paintwork with glue or handling.

Well you don't waste any time.
I could really only find 1-2 pics of the top of the gas tank area behind the roll hoop. They weren't very hd and hard to discern things when blown up.
Make sure and check that pictures page in the MP4/2 sub forum I believe they were in one of the links. Gurney only has the MP4/2C and the electronics were very different.

Great start, very impressive results with the TS Fluoro, I always struggle with it.
