The mirror arms are very fragile, I'm glad I don't have to glue them on afterwards.

![Album image #20 Album image #20](/albums/img/1/3/0/1023130-66148-35-720.jpg)
All parts have now been printed, largely released from the support and reworked. The floor plate is still missing. It is printed in one piece together with the bardge boards.
![Album image #21 Album image #21](/albums/img/3/0/3/1029303-66148-34-720.jpg)
A user in another forum pointed out to me that the rear rims are not very detailed and said that the bulges on the rims were missing. So I looked at it again and I have to agree with him. So I adjusted the model again and added the bulges.
![Album image #22 Album image #22](/albums/img/3/1/2/1029312-66148-13-720.jpg)
So that's the print result... I think it's turned out well and definitely better than before.

After a few discussions with various model construction colleagues and the good help of an Italian friend, we decided to fundamentally revise the model again and adapt it to the Monaco GP, or to introduce many new details.

The badge board elements are the hell. I need hours to bend them into shape while it cured because they kept making waves! Printing them one by one would have been a better option.

I also created a little gimmick for the car - #3 board of Lando Norris. The foot of the board is a 2-part 3D printed part. The sheet metal is 0.1mm brass. It will be painted black and then gets decals on both sides.

I thought about the antennas in the nose area and will recreate them with nickel silver.
![Album image #98 Album image #98](/albums/img/7/3/2/1083732-66148-92-720.jpg)
Since there should also be a detailed seat, I had to copy again at Sparco. I designed new adjusters and buckels. This time in 2 parts, so that you can slide in the belt elements if you want. The adjusters are a little different from Sabelt and have a loop on one eyelet. I will recreate this with simple colored tape. The straps will get decals again later...
I drilled a hole in the seat, which also gets its decals (I hadn't planned one, but it turns out differently than you think - since I've only now found a few good photos). But basically that's not an issue and it's Scratch... and modeling is just modeling. The two loops that are passed through the other 4 belt elements come through the hole.

I really wanted to bring a little update to the kit... and it didn't turn out bad for such a graceful part.
I will leave it that way. I have used Ø0.4mm brass rod.

not sure what is that what you made on pic 102-103 (trophy in the shape of a circuit?) but the fact that you can print it is simply stunning, specially on that size!

Yes that's the trophy for the 3rd place of the Monaco GP. Yes, it's a great thing that it worked and that I was able to get it out of the printer in one piece and without damage.
