After screwing up my BAR 003, for the Jordan I got the front wing and nose/pylons aligned and the right length before I painted it. Hopefully it fits right still after all the paint!! We'll see soon.

That's nice! Should come together really well from here. Final assembly is always a blast!

I'm at exactly the same point with SilverLine's kit in 43rd. Just love those shark's teeth!

Hello All,
Sorry for so long with no posts. I finally finished the Jordan Honda EJ11. Here's the pics. As with my BAR Honda 003, the wheels don't sit four-flat to the ground, but I will put them both on supports, as I feel that white metal suspension will deform over time and tend to sag, so I support the overall car. I had all the wheel-centers lined up correctly, then the barge-boards didn't fit quite right, and actually touches the ground. Since it was all done, nothing I can do. Oh well, here it is.

One thing I was really happy with was how the exhausts came out. I used SM cf decal around the exhaust outlet, dusted/heat-stained it a little, and the flat-coated it. I think it looks good. Nice contrast to the rest of the car.

I hope you enjoy. As always, I appreciate the feedback.
Cheers,
Chris

Excellent result.

This is one hell of a beautiful car. And your build does justice to it. The exhaust area is indeed something to be proud of !

Great work.
