    Improving for the best, Rory @rory
    The decals do look perfect on the blue.

    Thanks for taking a look and your kind comments Spiros @fiveten, George @chinesegeorge and John @johnb. John, the other evening I watched a YouTube video of a Gulf livery 917 running at Spa in an historic event which made me think of you. Simply stunning!

    Hey @Rory, not too well - haha - check out the disaster on my thread - hoping to make it work though.

    Hi fellow modelers, a quick update on my progress. I have done quite a lot of work on the chassis. I see on the photos a few mould seam lines which I have missed... poor eyes and too much haste I guess! However, I am happy with how it is going together in spite of some of the very flimsy parts. Attached a couple of images. Thanks for stopping by to take a look and happy modeling.

    Lovely work allover, my friend @rory! No worries about the missed seam lines (which, by the way, is the story of my modeling life 🙂), all will look excellent in the end.
    Looking forward to your progress!

    Morning All, well, the chassis is 99% complete. One last rear mudguard to fit and I can call it done. Last job to do is clear coat the bodywork and then if all goes well, will be onto final assembly. Happy modeling.
