Great model, great progress. Every time you fix a problem, you create a new one. Over all Greg the kit is coming along well enough to be like the art work on the box top. The Sauber just has a elegant look and feel to it.

So frustrating when those things happen, Greg @gwfabian
It sort of must have felt like a victory when you succeeded in saving, in three pieces however, the decal.

I'm calling this done. There's still some super-detailing that I would like to do - run a few more electrical lines off the turbocharger blow-off valves, an oil line here and there, a missing part on the roll cage. But I don't want to press my luck and cause something else to break. I do have to say that is his a very well-engineered kit and I'm thinking about building another Tamiya race car in this scale.

She crossed the finish line perfectly, Greg @gwfabian
A great headline article.

Wow Greg @gwfabian, what a fantastic result - you've made an amazing build here despite the issues you had, well done.
