small update.. i added some more parts to the engine and chassis..also you can see i attached the steering wheel..


i dont think i like the colour of the exaust, i mixed the colours it told me too gold leaf and chrome silver but i think its too much gold, what do you guys think?

You're doing a great job. I have one of these in my pile to do.

[JohnnyFerrari]

update again!
i have the cockpit all done and the decals put on... i did more of the engine and thats pretty well it..


i just put the mp4 decal but im not sure if it goes there, if it doesnt it wont matter becuase i ordered the M@r|boro decals anyway and it come with a whole set of regular decals.


i also modified the exaust becuase they were to gold, i think they turned out good.

This is looking really good!
I have been following this topic with great attention, because I am beginning with mp4/5b and your building has been very inspiring.
I only have to doubt: the steering wheel should not to be flat black instead of gray? here, two pics of it, i hope you can use them





greetings

Wow!! Those are some huge pennies!

Wait... what do you mean that steering wheel isn't actual size?

[JohnnyFerrari]

and yes the steering wheel is supposed to be gray, or at least in the instructions it says that.... update i did alot on the engine but theres still more i have to do, i finsihed the back wing, if your wondering y i have not decaled yet it is becuase i am waiting for the decals i ordered.



i put the back wing on, its not glued

Hey, for a fourteen year old , you do amazing work, when i was your age i can only build Gundam models Keep it comming

[JohnnyFerrari]

Thanks!!............Final Update until i finish the model, im still waiting for the decals to come in becuase the kit ones were demolised.. Here are some pictures, the pictures are a little crappy, the car does not look like what it does in the pictures, my camara is on micro is its going to pick up everything..
Chassis is done..





With the body on..

The thing that is twisted in this pic i have to fix, i think it twisted when i put on the body becuase tamiya fitting is not very good.. look at the pictures with the body off and you can see that its not twisted..





Hope you like!!
