One little bit of constructive critisism...
You should fill the injection molding sink/ejection marks on the parts with some body filler before applying paint and decals. ( The circles you can see under the CF decals on the side parts ). These here won't be too visible once on the model but anyway.......improves the look a lot:-)
Hi JayKay,
Yes, I couldn't agree more. And, thank you for pointing it out as it needs people to notice these things to give me motivation to fix them in future. I have filled in the sink marks before on selected parts but have mostly turned a blind eye to it becuase I just wanted to get on with the build. Then, whenever I get to applying the finishing touches, all always look back and say... "Wish I had spent more time on the prep-work." The rest of the parts on this model will be filled and prep-ed properly, and you can see evidence of this on the picture of the undertray (a couple of posts back), with the little Milliput circles.

Thanks to everyone for the RB Motion and Hiroboy pointers. I have requested a catalog from RB Motion and Hiroboy is now in my favourites. I'm gonna put all that to use on my next project (probably the Lotus 107B although my next project changes as often as my socks )
