Super work Gert, have enjoyed following the build with you. Look forward to the next installment of 'project 1989'.

Great update!
I used a Jordan 191 seat for my 101.

Awesome, I love this project

Good job on this one, like it!

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Little update: I Continued work on the Onyx. It's a nice kit to build with some challenge regarding the mismatching edge on the floor/sidepods.
I've added the frontwing flaps and endplates which i originally tried to solder the endplates to the planes but it didn't work out ( if someone has done this before some info would be helpful )
After that it was time for some grey primer and sanding followed by white primer. Now it needs a little sanding in some places before i will try to paint the car (livery included, taking inspiration from David's build)

Wheels where already finished with a bronze hue to it as seen in some pictures: The car so far in a quick mock up:

The grid is getting bigger, keep it going.

Update time!!
After weeks of wanting to build and paint again there always was an interuption just before painting etc but i finally managed to get some work done namely painting the Onyx. Using David's build as reference ( amazing build btw! ) i wanted to try and paint all the colors including some of the pink on the decals ( didn't do the pink stripe on the white of the nose as it was very thin and it was out of my comfortzone). I've first masked the white, painted pink (racing point pink by zero paints is a very good match to the decals), then masked the pink and painted the blue. There are little spots that need some attention but overal i'm quite happy with the result. Here are some pics of the proces aswell as a quick moch up of the car so far.
Cheers Gert

Very nice work…I always liked their colours just a shame the cars were average.

Nice work on the livery and the 'smoke' effect on the wheels really looks good.
