Any more progress, Crash?
I have this kit and would love to know how the build went.

Hi, Due to a move and some other changes in my life, I've been on a bit of a hiatus from this kit. The good news is I've restored some old kits that suffered while in storage, and I've built a down-draft spray booth. I hope to get this up and going again shortly.

Hi Crash, you're of on a right start. Engine looks great with the detail. Go on!! I have also a selfmade spray booth. It's downdraft to and I used a kitchen blower. Good luck with your build.

Life is never a bowl of cherries. I finally finished this kit. The images off my phone are to large to upload to the site, even after cropping them. Once I've figured out an answer to that I'll upload them. I now have 9 F1 kits, 2 Harley's, a 934 Porsche and a Ferrari Testarossa to build. Lots to keep me busy.

Try Photorazor at CNET. It works really well for downsizing photos for posting.

Hi!
There's also freeware out there that allows reducing images sizes (or not free but quite spreaded such as photoshop fr instance), and also you have postimage.org thata llows posting and controlling size.

I use a program called Gimp. It offers the basic stuff most people use Photoshop for and its free.

It's been awhile, again. The good news is we're still here. As you can see I've finally finished this one. :D Got it cleared up, rebuilt and repainted a 1/12 Porsche 935 Turbo, Lamborghini Countach, 1/16 Ferrari f40 and built a 1/9 Springer Softail. So this one is complete. only have 13 more kits to build, eleven of which are 1/12 F1 kits. Cheers.
