Thanks for all the nice comments guys.

Duke,
The first thing is to finish a Tamiys Nissan GT-R, which I had started prior to the Speed Build, and little-by-little have been working on throughout. After that I have "a few" options, but my primary considerations are:
March 701 - MFH
Ferrari 801 Long Nose - MFH
Ferrari F60 - Tamiya
Brabham BT50 - Tamiya
Ferrari 312B3 - MFH
Ferrari 312T/T2 - Hasegawa
Williams FW30 - S27
Ferrari F2007 - Fujimi/S27/MFH
Ferrari 248F1 - Fujimi
McLaren MP4/11 - S27
Force India VJM02 - MFH

Really narrowed it down didn't I :oops: :lol: ? I'm leaning towards the MFH March 701. Any opinions?
Cheers,
Chris

Hello All,
The Stewart Ford SF-3 is finished :D !! Honestly I can't remember the time-span of the Speed Build, but I think I met it.....somewhat of a modern miracle for me actually :lol: .

That being said, here is the final outcome. This is the best outcome for a m.m. kit, which I've built, being that the aero bits are pretty simple, and the color scheme is white. I didn't make any massive modifications, mainly adding cf decal, fasteners, seat-belts, buttons/switches and exhausts. Amazingly, it has four tires on the ground, a first for me :oops: , but the ride-hieght is a little "wonky" (to coin a phrase :wink: ), with the rear being a bit higher than the front...oh well, here it is.

And into the cabinet, taking place of honor.

All in all, a good kit of a great car. I've been wanting to build this for a loooong time, and you guys have once again motivated me to get something done, cheers to you all 8) .

Cheers,
Chris

Hello

Congratulations! An impressive build! Those heat shields are really great
That Stewart is one of my favourite "recent" cars. Wish I could manage to find the decals and convert mp4/13 into that Stewart... :roll:

Thanks for sharing your work
Best regards
Finishing: Sauber C30; Lotus 107C
Next: Porsche 917k; Ford Focus WRC 2010

Very nice build!

Btw...if the rear sits higher than the front of the car that's in fact correct. That's how the real cars are set up ( venturi effect and such...) Maybe you just exagerated that a bit :-)
