Maserati Tipo 151/3

[Dave B]

This is my take on Maserati chassis no. 151.002 but assigned 151/003 for 1964 and I have modelled it based on that years Le Mans entry.  It was not a great race for the Maser, pitted on the first lap and lost 2 minutes.  It did fight back getting up to third and being the first car to exceed 300kmh during the race, before retiring with a short circuit that could not be traced. It's actually not quite finished as I am waiting on some decals from my mate Phil who printed the body for me, can't hassle him too much!! Considering what I started with I am happy with the outcome and it looks good in the display cabinet with my other front engined racers.   Sprayed in auto acrylic, clear coated and polished.  

Now it's time to get serious on my Ferrari 750 Monza.

Tks for looking.

Is the first picture how it came out the printer? 

Nice work making it so smooth.

Very well done Dave.  When you consider where you started from it is pretty remarkable.  What wheels did you use?

Dave, you show us some exquisite models - looks good!

More, please !

Hi folks,

Marco, yes the first picture is off the printer with some styrene and putty added to start to correct the shape. It was a pretty ordinary file.

Gary, the photo etched spokes are Herb Deeks and the rims are modified Italeri 250SWB.

Very well done.  It seems 3D printing is not quite there yet but getting closer all the time.

Thanks for the comments guys.  I picked up the remaining decals last night and have now finished it.  Back to the 750 Monza!!
