Just couldn't resist doing this one even though it was the most recent aquisition. Having just finished its 1/12 counterpart It looked simple enough given that I already had done most of the paint. It was also quite expensive and I was curious as tol why. Found out quick enough. This is basically a shruink down version of the 1/12 kit and had many of the features found on the big one. Not as easy as the larger scale as many of the details were quite tiny. Color is Tamiya TS 26 white. Red is TS36 Flourescent red over TS43 Bright Orange. More details in the picture captions. Engine bay is just as crowded as its big brother. Fit of the pieces was a little bit more fiddly but it did go together well. Carbon fibre came with the kit. Cockpit was also just as detailed and the seatbelts also came with the kit. Completed chassis waiting for the body pieces. This was a lot more work than I expected. Finished car on its wheels. Body fit was just as good although I had to add four metal pins to locate the upper portion to the chassis pan. Thjere were four attachment points that were way too small for a good attachment. I drill out the posts and added wires. Then drilled through the pan. When the body was fitted I bent these wires over and that is what holds it all together. Much cleaner that glue and removable if I want. Rear veiw. Suspension went together well and all four tires sit flat. Wing attached easier that I thought it would. I use tiny wires drilled through that attachmnet points on the wings, then glue them from the bottom. I use Revell window cement as it is clear. Gives a nice assembly without the usual struggle. Couldn't resist a photo of the two of them together. Gives a nice comparison of the size. I used two different techniques on the red but they still match nicely. Once again the Marlboro decals were not included and came from the spares.

Hi mates, I start to build this fantastic car driven by Ken Miles and Denis Hulme at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1966 A quick look inside the box: by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr First steps ... by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr by Rodolfo Masti, on Flickr

Well this is the next build since I can't wait any longer to crack into it lol Only has 540 pieces ? so should be fun lol.

Changed this inquiry into a poll . Feel free to add your choice(s) to the list ( example : I'd like to see a 1971 GMC Sprint SP-1 or How about a Toyota Stout ! ) . Have fun !

Hello, all- I've finished much of my first Meng F-350, but I'm at a crossroads: what do I make with it? I'm thinking of Logan Airport's Rescue 1: http://www.capecodfd.com/Pics%20Fireboats/FB%20Massport%20Boat%2031%20Dedic%20112111g-02761.jpg Any suggestions on paint? I have duallies on order from Scenes Unlimited. I need to fab or find the box. I need to draw or find the decals. Any advice from the cognoscenti would be greatly appreciated. Best-
