First I cleaned up the 20 or so sinkmarks, and I fixed the PE side skirts.

November 24, 2012
I removed the plastic suspension arms because they will be replaced by PE parts. The top of the cockpit also received some aftermarket parts.

November 24, 2012
The lower cockpit half received PE bulkhead, pedals and radiators.

November 24, 2012
The rear wing had been stripped of all the plastic deatil since it will be replaced by PE parts. The dashboard also received a PE part.

Dryfit of the cockpit...

Dash has been painted, decalled and weathered.

Brake cilinders have been scratched and painted, weathered and fixed.

Rear wing reveived PE part, rear wing support as well. The plastic endplates are replaced by PE.

Fixing the PE radiators at the bottom...

November 24, 2012
Dryfit of the dashboard.

Next the exterior PE parts are fixed. Unfortunately they don't fit very well...

November 24, 2012
With all the PE aprts in place, and lined up as they should (see lines 1-1 and 2) there is a problem at the hub top (see question mark).
13
November 24, 2012
The bottom fits ok though.
14
November 24, 2012
Again, the problem area which is situated at the top of the central hub. I have to find a solution.
15
November 24, 2012
With the cowling in place, the problem is invisible. But I want to show the car without the cowling in place!
16
November 29, 2012
This picture showed me the solution: the central hub has an extra reinforcement on top, which I will scratch to hide the problem.
17
November 29, 2012
So I scratched 2 aluminium reinforcement strips, polished them and fixed them over the erroneous area...

Terrific start, one of my favourite F1 Cars, sadly the one that robbed us of Gilles🙁

Nice built and it makes hungry!
Seems to be not the easy built but nevertheless one of the complexed and interesting constructions.
Wish you patience!

I found a solution to a bad fitting problem, so I'm a happy camper😉
