Your use of different shades, drybrushing and (I assume) washes has really added alot of realism to the motor. Excellent work.

Engine detail looks great. You've done a nice job with the Trumpets, Mesh, A/N Fittings, Braided Lines, Plumbing and Bolts. They really bring it to life. I looke forward to seieng the rest come together.
Cheers,
Chris

Decals are on! Love these early cars with simple liveries =) Indycals decals worked a treat, just some small spots of decal solution to be cleaned off prior to clear coating.

Thanks for the kind words.. I've spent the day working the front suspension as you can see here in a test fit with the body.

Rear wing supports installed & radiator connected with braided line & an A\N fitting

Front wheel sub assembly with stock chrome on the top piece, the rest a mix of gunmetal + drybrush with an overall spray of clear matt.

Really nice engine. The mesh does add a little extra doesn't it.
