Following my successful plea for help (thanks again to everyone who responded), here are some pictures of the basic tub of this classic F1 car. It's another Tamiya 1/20 kit, one of their earlier offerings, I think, but with new box art,

Another master piece coming out of the garage George?
Will follow this one mate.

Thanks for looking, folks. The only tricky bit so far is getting the right angle on the pedal assembly, this is important as it effects the fit of the main body part and the nose cone. Maybe it's just me, but it doesn't seem to be quite right, we'll see later.

Hi Al, I got a slap on the wrist for posting my plea for help in Headlines from the site administrator, and was told that he had moved it to the "private" section, not sure where that is, but I can't find it, bit of a shame because it means that if anyone else needs that info they won't find it...maybe I'm being over sensitive, but it seems that if you want to advertise your book, or give some info about WWII aircraft camoflage schemes, then that's OK. It doesn't spoil my enjoyment or enthusiasm about this site, but I find it a bit irritating. Anyway, you must be pleased with the response you're getting with this group. Are you reading this, Martin?

This little project is coming along nicely.

Your right, I am happy with the response the Group is getting. I'm beginning to think around here automotive builders are like ship builders, you know there out there but you never see them.

On that other matter I was afraid it was something like that. I looked all over for it again but couldn't find it. At least it was up long enough for you to get some feedback. I would think given your current environment you would be used to happenings like that.

Great work George, looks like a lot of fun, well done so far

Good idea, Al, I might just do that, Anyone else got any views on this?

Here are a couple more pictures, just awaiting the rear cowling. I painted the wheel rims aluminium rather than silver as called out for in the instructions. It seemed more natural to me. Thanks for looking, George.

Good clean lines on a car from the days before they created downforce on every plane. Got mine the other day. The decals are junk. Good thing they are simple.
