Ferrari 312T3

[DynoMight]

Hello, I decided that I'm going to work on this when I get bored of the Nomad project.

The kit is the Ferrari 312T3 by Entex (I have no idea who they are... I think they're a British company, not sure)

Here are the front and rear wheel to this kit, they're okay.

The wing had 6 injector marks on it so I filled them in and sanded them down.

Next I sanded the body and the top of the chassis. (not pictured, only the front splitter)

Then I primed it.

Thanks for looking, more updates coming soon.

The primer came out horrible. So I left in Simple Green for a couple hours and let it soak and striped the paint off. I'll be re-primering it tomorrow, with a different primer this time.

If the primer you used first is as bad as you say, you may want to let us know what the name brand is. You just might prevent a newer builder from having the same bad experience as you had.

I've never had any experience with Entex models, but this looks like it has a lot of potential. I'll be interested to see how yours turns out.

Glenn,

I had no idea Entex did a 312T. I know they made a 1/8th scale Lotus that fetches ungodly money on eBay..

What scale is yours?

This looks interesting, for sure.

I'm working on a 1/12th Tamiya Lotus right now, and there is much body work to be done...

Keep posting those pics...

Cheers, Ian

This is a 1/25 model, I also have a Lotus '79 (1/25) as well. I got them both for $25 at a train show... These kits are both a little over 6 inches long....

The primer was Duplicolor Dark Gray Sandable.

Nice car with Carlos Reutermann as driver. Looking forward to see more out of it.
