What a beautiful work ! I'm saving my pennies and counting days for when it will be released.
Looks like it will be British/Japan GP version for late season variant, correct ? No US GP version
I guess.

I will design a cowl with chimney used at the usa gp. Also the vents on the cockpit will be added.

I'm so excited to see this happen - out of curiosity how long will the model? Knowing how long the real car is I can only imagine what kind of shelving you'll need for this

That's 2018 car, isn't it ? Switching gears again ? I mean, I don't mind 2018 car, as soon as 2017 is done first.
