It's beginning to look a lot like a F1 car

I glued together a couple more parts of the diffuser today, this is a particulary difficult part of this kit to get right.



I think I got it straight




I also did a bit of work on the roll hoop, sanding smooth the putty I used to get it to mate up with the engine cover. I used the backside of a hobby knife to straighten up the lines between the roll hoop and the engine cover.




Then I filed the engine cover a bit in the back on the lefthand side to get it to mate up with the gearbox better. This now looks real nice.



Finally, I did another test fitting of the kit after preparing the seat for painting.





Total: 22.5h
