Nice! Will be watching!

Very nice, I always like the green and white of this livery. Cosworth engine looks superb. Nice..

Well detailed engine. Looks to be going well..

Super clean and beautiful as we expect from you 935k3.
Did you paint the geen or use the decals? Does the cowl come in two pieces or did you saw it up? I built this kit over twenty years ago and only remember it being one piece.

Thanks for the compliments everybody. The paint is Krylon white and Tamiya racing green(no decals) I did separate the body as the real car broke down. It takes allot of work to get it all to fit together. If you notice every pic of a build of this car has a step(not flush)fit on top of the side pods wher the two pieces meet.

Is that green acrylic or spray?

Nice start! Are you doing Alan Jones' car?

Looks geart so far. marvelous detailing on engine section.

Is that green acrylic or spray?
Tamiya spray TS-43 Racing Green.

Yes. It will be the Leyland version not the the version using the infamous Bin Laden decal.

Nice start so far. I remember you asking for pics, I came across another site for you with pictures. FW07 (http://users.pandora.be/aerogi/Racing/Racing.htm) Just go to reference pictures section and they are some nice shots in there.

Beautiful model, im a sucker for old school f1 cars and this one is one of my favourites.

Finished sanding,cleaning and hand lettering the tires and sealing with semi-flat clear. I haven't hand lettered any for a while, I used Craft store acrylic paint applied with toothpicks because it is thicker and covers better than the hobby paints. Errors can be scraped off with a clean toothpick.

They look really really nice.
I find that Tamiya polycarbonate paints also work well on rubber.

Thats Looking Great!!

Ready for final assembly

Looks awesome. Almost done! :)

It looks mighty fine, I like it a lot.

ohhhh, wow, it makes me feel like building Formula 1 models again...
So beautiful.

Looks beautiful.

This is not a criticism, just ignorance on my part: are the rear rims supposed to stick a little bit out from the tire like shown in the last pic?

No, this has been fixed since, it takes a little work to get the hollow tires to get full out to the edge of rims. I will be posting final pics soon.

Looks to be a top job.. Well done.

It's finished

Great job! You've got to be proud of that in your display?

Brilliant! Best build of the FW07 I've seen.
