Thanks for all the comments!
I used a soft brass wire brush for the first polish and then finished with some micro mesh polishing cloths.

Looks great so far John, great photography too. Looking forward to your updates.

There is something that has intrigued me about this kit, and it's to do with the rivets around the tanks that sit beside the driver, immediately behind the radiators. In some pictures there is definite rivet head detail, but in other shots it looks like there is a series of indentations instead of rivets.

So my question is... are my rapidly ageing eyes deceiving me, or should all rivet detail be looking like there really is a rivet head instead of indentations?

Cheers, Paul

Paul: The rivets on the monocoque has rivet heads, but the front bulkhead and the tanks on the side have indentations, same as all the PE parts.

So small update, the cockpit is almost done. I have added the front roll hoop, instrument panel, steering wheel and seat. The roll hoop where painted in Alclad polished aluminum, the rest of the parts in various glossiness of black and racing white for the seat. The brake lines and hoses from the brake fluid reservoirs where added using fine wire and solder. I also added the throttle cable using parts from Top Studios flat bottom support set. What’s left now is to add the switch panel on the roll hoop, make the shoulder straps for the harness and do the last bit of wiring.

What will be seen of the brake master cylinders and the detailing once the model is done.
