This turned out really well. Really love the engine work...and it's a shame you have to decide weather to keep the shell on or not...I'd almost want to have two if I could build as nicely as this :th:

Yup but I've seen someone cut it to half just to show the engine

Great build of a special F1 car. I am 67 and new here not to model cars. I built my last one in 1965! Helped my sons in the 80s with builds, now I have a Grandson who loves cars. May order this 1/20 Honda Tamiya kit from Amazon after seeing your inspiring work.

If you would, I have a few questions... What size are the Bootlace Ferrules and how did you cut and attach them? Never used any fishing line before, what size and brand fishing line did you use for the fuel lines?

Lastly, if you had it to do over again, what would you have chosen to do differently with this kit?

Many Thanks
