  1. I thought this was gonna be a quick build... haha... was I wrong... this kit ranks up there with some of the worst kits I’ve built. The kit is about 60pcs plus the decals. Which are printed very well. The kit has separate doors that don’t fit at all and can’t be made open. You could rebuild the whole door area and make them look good open.. the doors are to big in some spots and to small in others. I sanded them down and got them very close and filled the seems from the inside with some putty. One whole side of the Bodley had to be sanded down to get it to match the other side. There are a few large sink holes a long the body. On the parts trees, the injector pin marks have to be sanded out of most parts on the body. Rear wing mounting holes on the wrong side of the wing. There is no break details in the kit. These will be sourced from a Tamiya kit. I really haven’t figured out yet if the chassis will fit the body.

  2. I stated this one about a year ago and then put it away to get the decals that I wanted for the kit. This is the Aoshima kit. The carbon decals are from ST 27 which are way to shinny and Tamiya fine . Thank lol be using the Scale Motorsports detail set. There carbon sheet only does the outside of the car.

    Well done Tim! 
    so question for you is do you clear over decals in this scale?

    Keep pumping out these great builds

     I’m just putting final touches on a 1/43 Renaissance 1963 Ferrari 250P

    I do use clear sometimes. It depends on the car. On the real car the graphics would be a wrap . This one I will probably clear. The decals are a bit flat looking and I think some clear would give it the correct sheen. I can’t wait to see the 250.

    Nice to see another 1/43 kit , this looks great ,I like it . I have not seen a PMA kit before .  I have a number of 1/43 kits to do , must finish some more while my old eyes can see them well enough .

    Thank you the PMA is the Provence Miniatures kits. I think it was PMA first then they were bought out by someone.
