It has become a bit silent over here, wondering when there will be the release of the next upgrade set!
Take a stand!

It's hard to see, but look under the big valve body, driver's left hand side, where the connectors are. There's an approx 3" x 8" countersunk trough under the connectors. As if it was to allow fingers to twist the connectors on/off. It was easy on the model. Just cut out the shape, taper the sides and glue a new floor underneath. Had not seen it mentioned, so just passing it on. :)

Looks like Top Studio is back in business(were they gone?). After set 1(cockpit) and set 2(Front Dampers and Chassis Front Bulkhead) set 4 is released: wing & under panel. A new dimension of upgrade when compared to the MP4/6. Looks promising! Some sneak peak of the engine as well!

Set 3 is supposedly delayed according to a TS FB comment(most likely the engine), let's hope it follows soon!

Now it's time to find a reasonable priced FW14B.
Though i would prefer a Ferrari 641 set and kit.
