I am starting to see this kit pop up more and more.....looks like they have made an improvment over their first efforts...looks good to start!

Pics of this car have forced me to order it from my LHS, Looking forward to watching your progress....as Revell leads me down the 1/24 road!

Just curious, but does anyone build the old Hasegawa 1/24's? I have a box of them hidden away in storage, I never built them for the reason that the decals sheets seem to be way too thin, They had some beautiful subjects, but lots of the white, especially on the Jordan, That the base color would just shine through.I have thought recently about getting the decals reprinted, but out of sight, out of mind right?

Thanks for the pics!

Good evening!
I've finally added some colour

The next thing to do will be glueing the bodywork together...

Hi

Just a word of caution about the wheels. If used as in yhe kit the width of the car will be horrendous! (See previous builds of this car). I have a solution for that. Don't modify the brakedrums, but do it to the wheels. You will need a motortool with a tool in that can remove material vertically. You should remove the stub inside the wheel so the brakedrum will be flush with the flat part (don't know what it is called) where the wheelnut is used. Afterwards the shafts that stands proud of the brakedrums has to be shortend. Don't know why Revell has goofed this. The 2003 car looks ok?

THX for the comment.
And yes, I know the problem. I'll keep in mind your advice.

Howdy all of you!
A little update. This time the main bodywork ( cockpit, floor and engine with suspensions ) attached and showing overall width of the car. By the way, special THX to Flemming for good advice

Happy new week!
I've added some new pics, don't mind the quality

Should have post pics early, but my weekend was consumed by a new PC.
