Ok so after closer inspection of the body I've found loads of sink marks and some weird (I've not seen before) wavey marks in the top body panel (it almost looks like the plastic hadn't set when it was taken out of the mold and has run like wet paint) anyway after 3 hrs of sanding I have a reasonable paint job (needs a bit of flatting here and there but a good starting point)

Trial of the body on this, it's going to need a fair bit of fettling notice how the top cowling is badly twisted that must be an 8mm gap at the front, the side skirts are not a great fit either well one of them isn't anyway.

Well a bit more done to the engine (I've noticed I have an ejector pin mark to remove)

Lots of pipework and HT leads added to the 312 T engine

More work on the engine of this, it's supposed to have working steering but I think it is highly unlikely to work and even if it does I doubt it will work for long.

I got it for what I thought was pretty cheap 59 quid

Hi all just won this on ebay, never heard of this Airfix kit before so no idea of quality or accuracy. Now I just have the tedious job of waiting for it to arrive.

Work progresses on this.

Added some pipework and did some work on the engine.

OK so now I mix a wash up using It's a very thin wash and I just run it in the nooks and crannies. Then I make another thin wash using I put this over the whole engine(very quick don't move it about as you will wet the silver and it will all just end up looking a dirty mess) I let that dry then use And dust it all over the engine and give it a little buff up.

Hi all this is how I do engine cases. So first I prime it. Then dab white in random places. Then since it's already a light grey primer, I add a bit of darker grey(just for a bit of variation) Now I just use a stiff brush lightly loaded with AK steel And scrub over it all.

Hi all it's my birthday so I'm allowed to start this. I'm going to stick my neck out and say by the way this builds the original had a crank shaft con rods and pistons (a bit like a Pocher kit) I've ordered some replacement decals from Indycal for this so hopefully I won't have the problem I had with the JPS.

Here's a quick mock up ( I'm thinking of using some led's and have it hovering) Can't decide on colour gold, blue or pink.

I knew this wouldn't please everyone (been unwell lately) but will be continuing soon.

Thanks guys, I did think it was strange, it was at the head of my page but went when I deleted the post.

Hi all do any of you post your builds on Instagram if so be careful of what you post. I posted my porsche 934 resto build and have been told to either take it down or set up a paid partnership with them as its product placement (I'm assuming it's because I have good year and castrol logos (amongst others)) I've deleted the post but if that's the case I think I will be deleting a lot more.

Superb

I found something better to power the GT40 than some marker pens and some plumbing spares.

Sorry venom nope. I have it stripped (now just have to strip the paint off.

Hi all well it cleaned up fairly well, just got to strip the paint next. What I'm planning involves using these

It is the old trumpeter kit that's just over a Yr of dust from my shed (ido my spraying in the shed)

Hi all got this back out of the shed, can you guess what I'm going to do with it.

Thanks guys

Another of my favourite products I have an old stiff brush I use for stuff like this. Dip in the powder. And flick over the engine by pulling your finger through the bristles. You should end up with this
