Skitsnyggt Bo ! Vilket bygge !! Very nice work, love it :-)

looks fantastic ! :-) But what scale ? 1/12 , 1/8 ?

Nice :-) Will follow this , never seen this kit before !

I used mostly Modelmasters metalizers colors for the engine, the brass is Alclad polished brass, some other parts is Alclads polished alu. I also replaced some plastic rods with alu and brass rods. A piece of "leather" was provided in the kit, to cut in stripes and put around the steering wheel, but I used thin tape and painted it with MM Dragon black. The tires got floor polish before decals then I brushed matt acrylic clear on top. Thomas

Thanks all :-) The wire wheels is the ones in the kit and they are very good ! Otherwise there is plenty of sinkmarks ,ejectionmarks. I did fix the ones who could be seen when finished. The hinge on the hood halfs are placed on top , that is wrong so I removed them and did my own of alu tubes, the hood itself doesn´t fit in the end , both sides can´t be shut at the same time. But I think most people will have it removed so you can se the engine. The wheel axels is plastic and a nut will lock the wheel..two of the broke when I tried doing it.. I had also to remove some parts in the center of the engine, otherwise it would´n fit , but they was not visible anyway. The window is about 4 mm to small :-) easy fixed. Here are some pictures from the build

Hi This is the Italeri kit, a reissue of the old Protar kit. So there are alot of flaws and fit problems but in the end I liked it. I planned to do it oob but I did add some extra bolts, screws, cables and so on. Scratched a new seat, with some foil from a whiskey bottle !! The car was brushpainted before the race so it was not very shiny, more of semigloss. I used Tamiyas grey primer and then Tamiyas Italian red, that turned out in a semigloss finish so not need for any clear. Thomas

Wow ! Great work there !! Thomas

Hi This is Tamiyas 1/12 "Jäger" kit but I choose to use BBK.s decals for Silverstone 6h in 1978, added a few also. As usual they worked nicely. For detailing I used hex boltheads , rivets , hoseclamps, braidedlines with connectors also valves for the rims, all of different brands. Done some weathering on the chassi and on the rims. Thomas

Very nice ! :-) Great job !! Thomas

You got mail Bruce ! Thomas

Looks very good Bruce, nice to follow ! Thomas

Great work Like the driver too! Thomas

I built this kit a while ago, liked it very much ! Your engine looks very good with the weathering ! The removed mold lines makes it look far more realistic, good job !! The rest of your work is nice too Thomas

Hi and thanks all ! I´m glad to see this old thread of mine :-) First, the whitewalls was supplied in the kit, it was a very old kit. I remember that the fit was rather bad, the dash was to long so the doors couldn´t be closed properly, biggest problems was the frame, the car is leaning a little to one side. I had to warm up one side of the frame with a lighter just to make it fit at all. There was an issue with the front uprights, don´t remember exactly how it was ... The front has BMF on the side ribs I do remeber it was a tricky build but I like the way it turned out in the end, it´s a great design I think ! Thomas

Hi This kit a built many years ago, recently I built another Porsche 910 so I had this kit for refs. Unfortunatly It fell down to the floor so I had to restore i some way. The other build had aftermarket decals so I could use the decals in the Tamiya box.After repairing and repainting I put on some extra rivets and fasteners in various places. The version I choosed is from Targa Florio 1967, so I also decided to weather it. This job took some weeks this summer and I´m satisfied to have a" new "model rather quickly in my collection :-) Thomas

Hi This is a Tamiya kit with decals from S27. The S27 decals are not totally correct, had to add some decals and make a new rear license plate. I used some detailparts such as rivets, hoses, connectors ,wires and switches. Turnlights and positionlights are scratched.Self adhesive cloth on the seats. Thomas

Great start ! Will be nice to follow Thomas

Hi and thank you all It´s paint on a brush, hold the brush on a distance from the bumper then splash it with your fingertip, easy but try it on something else first . Thomas

Hi This is the Tamiya jäger kit but with Brumos Racing Daytona-77 decals from BBK. I have done some detailing along the way, rivets,bolts ,hoses, braided lines and so on. As you can see I did a weathered car, was a little nervous for that but I think it turned out rather well. Thanks for looking!

Hi This kit was built by a friend many years ago, standing on a shelf since then so there was a lot of dust! Now I have tried to clean and restore it. I used decals from S27 for the Argentinian GP of -72. Painted with Tamiya spraycan recomended for this kit, replaced the smaller type of tires to the bigger ones that was used from -72. Also I added rivets, hoses, hosebands ,alurods,valves and some wireing too. The most difficult part was to paint Ceverts helmet ! Long from perfect but it will do. Thomas

Hi I have built this kit a few years ago, the box is gone but I have the manual left but there is nothing in it that can tell us what release date it was. I should guess around 1968-69. This kit is very rare so it could bring you some money :-) Thomas

Hi The braided line is 1,5 or 1,6 mm by Tuner model manufactory ( T2M) , I bought them from hiroboy.com . Some of the prepainted fittings are from" modelers" in scale 1/12, I belive they don´t make them anymore. And thank´s all of you for the nice comments :-) Thomas

Hi This is the Tamiya kit of the French racing icon. I decided to do a version that is on the pictures in the manual but that version can´t be made out of the kit parts ?! This version of the car was used only during the practice for the British GP-68. The car had a much smaller rear wing than usual. So it had to be scratched and also the oilcooler with it´s support mounted on top of the gearbox is scratched, the manual says it shall be placed on top of the oiltank but that is wrong. I had very good help for this conversion from the ModelFactory Hiro manual for theirs 1:20 kit. I used several etched parts , rivets, alutubes, valves , switches and hosebands. The body paint is from Tamiyas spraycan TS11. There is a WIP on another forum: http://www.f1m.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=18732 Thomas

Hi Yes, the Lotus 72 had this inboard brakes during it,s lifetime 70-75 Thomas

Good work! Looks very nice in this livery, I have built it in 1:12, but the S27 decals is missing some of your logos. Thomas
