Old Monogram kit, 1965. Bought it at the 2019 IPMS kit swap. Classic build, ie, no PE or aftermarket resin. A simple, not particularly accurate kit, but went together well. I find that when I'm struggling to make time for kit building, finding a "low-parts count kit" (20-30 count) helps get me over the motivation hump. 

Finished with Tamiya primer, Tamiya Ferrari Red spray can & Mr. Hobby clear. Used Bare Metal Foil for chrome.

What a gorgeous build of an ancient kit. The clean detailed job you did on the interior makes this build really standout. Inspiring build!

Thanks. I like building old kits to a level I could only dream of as a kid.

Hi 👋, Great execution on the the 275P, gorgeous paint job and interior detail! Recently I’ve been constructing more of the older slot body based kits and really enjoying the results. Over the years one develops techniques that really add to the scale fidelity, such as thinning the plastic around the wheel wells, opening up grill and inlets, and vastly improved paint skills. The result are first class models of these epic road racers, and your work exhibits this very well; eye candy. Also had a look at your 1/43 Cobra, another jewel. 
Great to see your work and looking forward to more…

Cheers from across the Strait! Misha
