I'm also a big F1 fan so I look forward to seeing your progress on this build. I'd also be interested in how this compares to building a road car.

Cheers

Looks good. Have an F1 car in the stash so will follow your build with interest.

All the best

well so far today i've done the wheels mounted the lower front suspension painted and decald the cockpit and done a bit more to the engine

the body shell still needs a few more coats


the chassis


the Cockpit


the scrub tyres compared to out of the bag tyre


more detail on the engine


so far it's been quite simple compared to a road car im planning on doing a little more later, i think the most difficult part will be the decals Confused on a side note i will be cheering for jenson button this weekend hopeing he can wrap up the title Very Happy
