Hi,

Great job as usual Tomasz!

I hesitate between selling mine with all his accessories or getting started in its building...

My task with the Top Studio set is not inferior, and even better than the MFH. I just bought a full detail set 1/12 for MP 4/6... :mrgreen:

The front wing is ready. The mechanic who made the blot is back to milking the cows...

Great build so far, but why didn't you puttied pin marks on the sides of front wing? They look terrible, especially when you've put so much effort into details of the whole car.

I use the carbon structure proposed by Tamiya (where it is). Pin marks remain as the lesser evil...



We assemble the next elements from the basic set and from Top Studio. Something will grimace, something will peel off... But we're going bravely on :)
The body and rear wing is painted with 2K automotive paint and is now awaiting Tamiya polish and pastes.
