Over 8 years ago now, but I think it was too big a challenge for my skills to make it good.
I'd have followed your build WIP closely as it looks great, Rosberg or Prost?

Truthfully i haven't decided yet and still have awhile to decide,always liked Rosberg but this was a championship car for Prost.Suggestions anyone?

Thanks everyone for your comments

I'm biased but would choose the Prost version, probably his best championship year.

Starting to get the engine to look like something so will post a few pics,added the the water tank between the air plentums on the front side of the engine.Made it from a tank barrel that had the right taper to it,protar left this part out.Added the ign. coils and the piece where they sit,another area protar left out from the kit.Next up are the intakes and the fuel rails that will have to be scratch built.All and all the engine has gone together fairly easy and have enjoyed building parts to fill in area's protar left out.Thanks for looking and comments always welcomed.

Regards,Gary

The engine finaly made it off the bench and into the car,the turbos and the exhaust was a real pain to get to fit properly...nothing would line up but persistance finaly won

.Once the side panels are in place the turbos are barely visible so the lack of detail will hardly be noticed.Still have alot of small details to add and some touch up so things should move along faster.Thanks for looking.

Regards,Gary

Nice work Gary!!!! After seeing your build makes me want to tear mine down and start over. I have the all plastic version. Was your bottom pan bent, mine was.
