First start made
Working in subassemblies, painting some parts before committing to glue
Interior tub needs some extra work, and I'm looking into some replacement seatbelts.
Carved the seatbelts from the seat, and opened up the hole to feed the new belts trough
Cloth added with thin tissue paper
Seatbelt made from Aber photo etch belts.
Not fixed yet.

Valve stems added
Wheels painted black, as the competition cars had black, not silver rims like Tamiya suggest
Started to add some details to the engine, drilling holes for some wires.

There is nice detailing on the engine; overall, the car is nice, too.

Thanks mates.
Although I'm a petrolhead, I've not built many car models before.
My son is a big fan of racing cars in general, and old Japanese cars in particular. He has asked me to build this one for him.

lol, in that case following, you had me super impressed with the car photos I thought were a model build. I though you were that good. Some of the mates on here are that good.
