Lowbrow Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 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. SMTS 1967 Ferrari 312 Building and test fitting sub assemblies Filling imperfections and sharpening up surface detail prior to primer Same procedure on a very old and rare C Scale 1/43 1966 Ferrari 312 And lastly, same pre assembly and clean up for the 1/43 Tameo 1988 Ferrari F1/88 From Mr. All Ferrari All The Time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Modeller Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 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. All the best, Kev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefr22 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoly Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 that's a great job, but an awful looking car. the profile of the engine cover is just wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

Ade H Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
