Update some progress.

The ECU was finished. I used transplanted plastic to make the cover of header, which is satisfying for me.

Update some progress.

The front dampers and chassis front bulkhead were finished. The space of electric connector is too small, very hard to install the wires.

And yet you did. And well.

Updated some progress

Finished the front wing and steering wheel. Still added the dotted line to improve the realism.

About the brake, added the used trace on the brake disc.

This is a wonderful build, just love your details, it is great inspiration for my build, and I really hope mine comes out similar to yours.

Models like this show the possibilities in larger scale. I keep on wondering why I play around with 1/25th when such masterpieces can be obtained by builders better than I in the larger scale.

Thanks.
 

How did you create the dotted lines on the steering wheel and front wing? Until I saw this post, it never registered with me that those lines on the wing exist. So, thanks for that too! ?.

I used some clear pictures to calculate the pitch. And asked someone to help to print it. The steering wheel just uses smaller design.

Updated some progress.

Finished the rear wing. Thinned down the end-plate and adjusted the groove for the assembly.

NICE!!!

One of those details no one would notice but it contributes greatly to the realism of the car.

This is just stunning and fantastic to look at!

All of the details are wonderfully managed and beautifully crafted.

Keep up the great work!
