1979 Ferrari WC


Recommended Posts

More Ferrari time. Here is Jody Scheckter's Ferrari 312T4 driven to the 1979 World Driver's Championship. Built from the Racing 43 kit, box stock with Tamiya acrylics, lacquers and PPG auto urethane clear. 

 

Nice kit, no real issues in building it except the windscreen, which I'm less than happy with. Rather than provide a vacform screen you're given a paper template and a rather stiff piece of clear acetate to form it from. Far from ideal.

 

I've got a few others that use the same method and I'm contemplating just ignoring the windscreen all together....or hunting down some much more pliable clear Mylar to try instead. I MUCH prefer a vacform piece.:unamused:

That's another gorgeous little model, really love your paint finishes! I see what you mean about the screen, but I don't know if I'd have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out....

 

And the surface texture on the slicks is brilliant - looks spot on like the real things!
