Doing the race car and not the orange launch car, right? I have to agree with the above comment - your builds are very well done and photographed!

The thread said "WIP", and knowing James' work, I assumed that was a pic of a new diorama! Seriously, I can't wait to see the model!

Hey nice to see you around James. Missed your work mate. I take it this is the Tamiya version? if so when you glued the two halves of the tub together did you cut away the bottom to still get the seat in? Look forward to seeing this come along.

Indeed i did lol I remember you told me about that a while ago! I did a bit more filling around those aero parts near the intake thing today to blend them in. |

added a few decals on     Looks great to be honest. How did you do such a nice curve in your masking? the body had a line on it showing the separation, so i made sure not to sand it completely away so i could see it still |
