Built box stock adding seatbelts, helmet visor, and Fujimi mechanics. This is a test version without the factory red bodywork or driver race numbers.

Yes engine, gearbox, suspension, driveshafts, brakes...

I've since 'blued' the exhaust to show heat in the pipes.

Nice little scene going on there Patrick...... the figures add much to the car's realism, especially the driver with his helmet on.

Thanks David, yes I've had a combined mechanics and civilian figures set and had no interest in using it, but now it seems to work.

Very effective and interesting diorama. It is amazing how complex the current F1 cars have become as they a testing this week at Circuit Catalunya. The wings and side pods of the Zakspeed are so unadorned in comparison.

Thanks Phil. I was a race/airfield marshall at the Silverstone Circuit about 5 miles from here for nearly 25 years, so saw F1 cars pretty often, and a host of most other classes and MotoGP or 500 GP as it was with Barry Sheene etc! We've visited our eldest son a number of times in Canada both  Manitoba and Alberta. But he came here with his wife at Christmas which was good.

Thanks Yordan. Oh the engine is a YAMAHA, but there's no edit on the initial post.
