Hi all due to the kindness of Richard, this arrived today all the way from the US of A.

It looks an amazing kit, obviously since it was a kind donation I have decided to take greater care than I did with the RE20 first thing I noticed was the fuel lines are way out of scale they should be 8mm which scales down to 0.7mm roughly (slightly less than that its actually 0.67recuring) the supplied clear tubing is 1.33mm (https://i.ibb.co/sgqvvKG/IMG-7872.jpg)
After heating and stretching I have a very close

That is about all I will get done before the funeral.
I'm looking forward to getting stuck into this.

Not at home at the moment (father in laws funeral) (will be sadly missed) but before I left home I managed this much

Where would I find pics of this engine, I google it but all I get are pics of this kit in various stages of build.

Looks like clever mix of model kit and shrink rayed parts. :smiley:

More progress on the engine and chassis.
I can't believe these engines are the scale considering they are similar CC's

More work on the engine of this, reducing the size of that clear tubing made it a real pain to get on but I do think it looks better.

Started on the rear brakes, I'm surprised for a tamiya kit there is no brake pipe detail. Just means I will be adding it.

Hi all back off hols so now eager to get back at this.

(https://i.ibb.co/RgywdyV/IMG-8341.jpg)
Whilst on hols I won a revell ex protar F1 for a really great price (yes the box is really battered but the bits all look good) I've seen one on there with a starting bid of 197 quid I paid no where near that.
Can anyone guess what it is.
-
At a guess - a Ferrari? :-*
-
It is indeed a ferrari (but which one)
More progress on this.

I'm not familiar with that maker, but I'd guess a 312T or something similar
-
Hi all more progress, even with coating these old decals with clear I can't tell you how many pieces they break into when applied, very slow progress.

Hi all (sorry Richard ) the fit of the body panels (maybe the age of the kit) is awful for tamiya standards what ive photoed here is the main body part all else is an awful fit, as this kit was a gift I'm doing my best but this will never be up with the best I've built, that's not to say I'm not enjoying the build its just a shame it won't be my best build.(https://i.ibb.co/KXFCwZr/IMG-8411.jpg)

Sounds interesting and very exhausting if you do all of them.
She nears completion (I can't get that gap at the nose cone any smaller) age of the kit I guess.

Looking really good

OK so these decals are 40 years old and have had a tendency to break up so last night I spent 2 hrs getting these together and was patting myself on the back about the great job I had done, only to see this morning they looked like this.
(https://i.ibb.co/fFXdJ7K/IMG-8447.jpg)
No recovery from that one, I looked on indycal but they are all printed on a black background, I'm a bit worried that it may not be the same as the black the one I've Sprayed the rest of the car with.
Anyway the rest of the decals went on OK.

Well the decals arrived last week but I've been too unwell to do anything with them also the register is different so I can't lay the new ones over the old ones so I'm just going to have to settle with applying them on the side skirts only and hope the difference is not so blindingly obvious as when it's on the same plane as the rest.

Hi all well its nearing completion (I don't think the difference in colour of the decals is too noticeable)
