Finally made a start.
Starting with the main tub
And the fire bottle.
First a coat of matt red.
Then the gloss
Finish the painting
Finally complete and in place

An unusual choice, but an excellent representation of period innovation. You sure made the fire bottle come to life.
Peter,
I had an email about this, the other day, advertising it as 'New' from Tamiya!

Virtually the same kit all that's new is photo etch parts and seat belts
As I have the original boxing if I didn't buy the one I have I would have got it as jadlam are only a 45 minute drive away.

Just finished off the front suspension and axles with the air ducting. 
With all this rubber on the ground & braking swept area, I wonder what G forces they created.
A cracking start Peter.

IIRC, the basic idea behind the car was to drastically reduce drag, and because the wheels are a main source of that, the reasoning went that smaller wheels would be a good way forward. But to get the same amount of ground contact (or something), they ended up needing four at the front.
