Done some of the body work go some paint on and gloss coat

You are really drivin' on with this build, Peter. Nice work and the tire assembly with the inner liner is quite interesting. They look great though...

Why are you supposed to file the Firestone lettering? Maybe to give decals a good surface???

Its because they used Goodyear tyres as that's the decals I have

[Allen Dewire]

That's weird Pete, but I get it now. I guess it was an oopsie on Heller's part. Thanks!

[Mr Bowcat]

Very neat painting.

Looking mighty fine ready to rumble.

Wow, you got the exhaust pipes on and lined up correctly … I started on that the other day on my Tyrrell, and couldn’t get them to fit properly. I ended up building the rear frame that includes the ends of the exhaust pipes first, so that once that’s dry I can try again, but with two points of contact.

[Lee Drennen]

Nice updates Peter.

[peterairfix]

That's the engine and gearbox finished save for the exhaust and a few small bits

[scottie3158]

Peter, nice neat work.

[Tworrs]

That looks great Peter.

[peterairfix]

Front and rear assembly's attached to the body work and front and rear wings constructed

[Stefee]

Definitely in pole position and leading the pack. Great progress and neatly done.

[Allen Dewire]

That is really coming along and at record speed Pete. Nice color and the motor is great too! But, you and Stefan need to slow down a bit. We still have 75 laps to go in the race Sir...
