Thanks to Russell's inspiration and help I've made progress on my entry for the F-1 race. Just like the original it's complicated as hell.
It started as a Classic shell...then the nose was rebuilt to incorporate a scale radiator vent, OK so I went this far and decided to create the tube and upper body like the real thing, this left an opportunity to include a scale interior.
The rear wing is modeled after the late season car, cantelevered out using carbon fibre wing supports, and the front are adjustable again modeled around a carbon fibre spar.
Next to be done is the top on the engine, windshield, dash wires, and oil cooler.
It's four wheel drive with a Scale auto can, squat ball bearings and epoxied and balanced slot-it arm.
If time allows the motor will be lightened considerably.

Cause it's against the rules. and I'm going for drivability.
I got the pictures Russell thanks a million, and I also replied to your e-mail, thanks again,

Tires are legal, motor is legal, and it's built almost like the real thing....heavy heavy heavy.

Chris
That's my plan, gota go on a diet, and the heaviest thing is the motor, so a few holes here and there wont hurt.
