Say goodbye. Most of this will never be seen again. Sniff, sniff. I did have to take the floor off after this pic. The orange aero parts in the rear suspension was not seated correctly. Thankfully it all went back together without incident. I'm working on the punch list. I realized I still have to add the Top Studio "braces" from the engine block that hold the floor. That's some fiddley work.

Floor work: I decided to put a few laps on the floor. For the most part I'm pleased. Exhaust manifolds installed (finally!). Tamiya provides a temporary part to set the height of the exhaust tips. They line up perfectly with the floor. The floor has since been installed. I need to get a pic! Cowling decals: I gloss coated (Zero 2K) Friday evening. It was not without issue, so sanding and polishing will be required. While waiting for this to cure I've compiled a punch list of work to complete as well as bit to fix. The O2 lines to the exhaust manifold are proving to be a PITA!

Sorry for the delayed response. Formula Perfect (period track photos) had them. Keep it!

@4knflyin - First, thank you for the kind words. I really don't know if I'm double dipping, but I'm trying foster modeling on this side of the pond. Regarding the stencil, of the 30+ reference pictures of the actual car(s) I have accumulated from multiple sources, there's only one with the Calsonic stencil on the radiators. So I choose to think it was not in place for the June 5 Canadian GP. The pic is from Formula Perfect Manual Series Vol. 2. Outstanding reference if you ever decide to build the MP4/6. On a side note, I do want a resin 3D printer!!!

Engine installed. Dry fitting the floor in this shot. Thankfully, while snug, there's alignment. Radiator work of late. Some vague alignments but I've been able to get the pipes seated to my satisfaction.

Love car. Love the build. Love the collection. You rock!

Awesome build Lynn! You can take pride in that work. Well done.

Great build. I like the 312T as well. You've got a knack for laying down a sweet red.

Solid build. Beautiful finish and super clean.

ECU work... The jig really helped.

Hey all, a few recent updates... Both sidepods are on the tub. These cables are fiddly. Thankfully I'm please with the recent work. Thanks for looking!

I've not posted on YouTube. The Tamiya MP4/6 and Top Studio is a popular build.

More sidepod work... Top Studio provides an adhesive backed mat finish sheet that you cut into strips the width of the strap. They also provide PE clasps/eyelet for the end of the strap. The PE base of the box includes hooks for the clasps. The trick is determining the length of the strap. Thankfully TS provides a large sheet for 2nd and 3rd tries. I'm not sure how TS expects the 2nd wire to be attached. I took a bit of super fine wire and CA'd it to the side of the wire that will be next to the sidepod (out of sight). A bit of glass black and it's ready. It turned out and I'm please.

Time spent on the sidepods. Mostly fiddling with wiring. While I'm not thrilled with the work, I am mostly pleased.

Hi All, Is it cheating to post here and on Brit Modelers? If so, I'll shut up. Otherwise here's some recent work. I'm currently working on the side pods and wire harness. By far the most complex build I've attempted. Color coding copious notes, for my forgetful mind, are mandatory.
