Ferrari 312T4 I've been building up to this one for as while, the good lady bought me this kit the Christmas before last, there has been a few threads in the past on hear but nobody has seemed to make it much past the cockpit and front suspension phases. As mentioned during my 126C2 WIP, I'm not a Ferrari fan, but I have to admit they do make a beautiful car, this T4 being one of the finest in my opinion. This is my first MFH kit and was daunted as soon as I opened the box, the amount of unreferenced white metal parts was a bit of an eye opener to say the least and I wasn't really up to the task last year. I had prematurely made a start last year and made a complete tosh of the tube, personally I'm not convinced with polishing the large tub section, I gave it an inadequate polish and in haste before any clear coat began adding other white metal and PE parts. This is when I stopped, I knew I was out of my depth. The 126C2 was a spur and exercise leading up to making a start back on the T4, and enjoyed every minute of it, I now have an airbrush and have had some limited experience with it, I used Xtreme Polished Aluminium and Chrome on the C2 with some success and an seriously vying away from the polishing route and onto spraying. While I'm contemplating this I thought I would make a start with the engine block, gearbox and rear suspension, the all parts fitted well to be honest with only the rear wishbone needing some adjustment. I know it is suggested dry fixing everything prior to gluing, which I haven't done to be honest but there was only one way of fixing the wishbone and will be hoping to test fix other sections of the rear suspension once this section is completed. So it all may come back and bite me. All parts seen were polished and washed prior to gluing and were given a couple of coats of Halfords etching primer prior to further spraying. This is a hell of a step up from the Fujimi kit and I still not convinced that I'm up too it yet but I've got to do it at some point and the thought of decaling up that gorgeous bodywork is enough of an incentive.
