Ken, Java and Quaralane, thanks a lot lads!
I added some wiring to the engine today, and glued it into place. I gave the some parts a thin wash using MIG Dark Wash. I also added the wheels to the rims and testfitted them. Really starts to look like a car now.
There were much more wires on the car - especially on the sidepods, but I'm not going to add them. With the body in place nothing will be seen of it anyway.







Some additional decals need to be added to the monocoque - especially some Marlboro ones. The aren't obviously not provided in the Tamiya kit, so I'm waiting for them to arrive. The decal sheet is of an Italian Company called TB Decals. Hope it arrives soon, and hopefully the Good Year decals work well on the tyres...
Cheers
