1986 Ferrari


Recommended Posts

Last one for a while, we're packing up for a move next week and then I have my next round of chemo right after so I've no idea when I'll be able to get back to building.

 

1986 Ferrari F1/86 1/43rd Scale from Hi-Fi Automodelli. Pretty much like the others, essentially box stock with addition of foil & etch racing harness. Tamiya paints, urethane clear. One exception. The upper A-arms where missing from my kit so I had to carve new ones. Just once piece that slides through the nose. Made it out of sheet plastic, fortunately it's the same part in a kit I had of the late season '85 Ferrari so I had something to copy. Can you tell which is which in the photo?

So here are the F1/86 photos

Here are some photos of works in progress I'll hopefully get back to before too long.

Another great F1 Ferrari build from you Lowbrow. I have been quietly following all of your 1:43 Ferrari RFI's and have to say they are a very cool collection and nicely built - very well done!! The wishbones ('A' frames) at the top of your picture are the plastic ones, but a good replica nonetheless!

 

Good luck with your move and I wish you well with your next round of chemo - hope all comes to a successful conclusion.

 

P.S. - Really like the look of your prepped 1960's Ferraris, they'll look supercool when finished and painted. :thumbsup: 

 

All the best,

 

Kev :)

That's another stunning little Prancing Horse, Mr. All Ferrari, usual beautiful finish!

 

Very best wishes for your next treatment & good luck with the move.

 

And I agree with Kev about the 60's Ferraris, they're going to be another pair of beauties!

 

All the best

 

Keith

but an awful looking car. the profile of the engine cover is just wrong.

 

I disagree, I think it flows really nicely - & it's a ravishing beauty compared to the things 'racing' now, not to mention how bad they'll look next year when those hideous halo contraptions are introduced!

Probably like many people, I find moving house to be very stressful; so I sincerely hope that it, and what you have to go through afterwards, all goes as smoothly as possible.

 

Being eagle-eyed (or should that be aegle-eyed?) I spotted an odd error in the front tyre markings. I hope that it doesn't bug you as it would me, but I guess that it would be fixable?

Aha! I wondered if anyone would notice. I was soaking them prior to application when I noticed. Fixing at that time would have been possible but a real PITA, so I let it go. There was a day it would have drove me nuts but my attitude now is it's a conversation point for those who notice. Most won't notice. Having done my share of decal art, I can't quite figure out how the artist muffed it up like that.

 

MrModeller is exactly correct, the top wishbones are mine.

 

spoly may be correct on the engine cover form, I can't say I checked that close, but it doesn't seem to be off that much in comparison with this photo

Thanks for the well wishes everyone.
