After engine detailing was finished and rear panels were ready, I could finally mate cockpit, engine and floor.
Installed radiator assemblies as well and routed more hoses. Still have to pin down and route quite a few wires.

Sergey, the two McLarens look great! - I wish I was able to restrain myself to just the 1/20 scale F1 stuff...
Unfortunately I dabble in just about every scale up to 1/12...I even love the 1/43 scale Tameos, and MFHs..
I do have a few kits in 1/24th scale that I think I will never build (except my Indy cars) - if you ever need anything let me know!, Querque

More progress. Cables are tied up. Steering wheel attached. Brakes assembled and installed. Brake lines routed out to calipers. Rear and front wings assembled.
Need to complete number of small items and wheel before Saturday's local context. Will be adding rivets later and some other small details later.

Wrapped up MP4/6 build this summer. For some reason failed to post update at the time. Here are some photos of completed model.
Body does not fit perfectly and tires are from some old built up model I had. But overall I am fine with how it turned out.

You can see it on the color of the tire marking, they could be a little brighter.
Otherwise a very nice model, but I also love the models from the 80s/90s!
