White decals on fuel tank came from some spare 1:12 decals for MP4:6 or 4:5b, this car has larger decals here than later year cars

You're getting busy! Such fast work! And she looks great already! Love the silvers used on the brakes, the way the CF decals are coming along -- everything!

Cheers, Chris

My worry on this kit is the horizontal spit in the monocoque. I would be very cautious about sticking top and bottom half together after paint and decals. It's the one area that has made me hold fire on getting started on this car till I can come up with a solution.

I just did a whole post and it didn't go through, so I'm just posting pics, really hate spending 20 mins posting and then it gives an error

I don't think the monocoque is an issue personally

Ok, thanks for that Alex. I was concerned that there would be a nasty visible seam on the split line.
