Reini78 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 #26/2020 So, my dad has finished his third racecar this year after a decades long hiatus. Well, it´s no show winner but at least it is finished and didn´t go to model heaven. Mostly typical Hasegawa quality. Only mounting the wheels was a bit tricky. My dad needed some force to do that and broke off some parts. Luckily he was able to fix the damages. Another tricky part are all those narrow stripe decals, especiall the ones on the lower body. Although my dad sealed them several times with clear coat, parts of them came off when touching the model too much. Had to repaint some of the stripes with a white permanent marker. My dad didn´t apply the GoodYear decals on the rubber tires, would have been tricky too. The red paint was a selfmix. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235081036-austrian-legend120-ferrari-312t-1976-niki-lauda/page/2/#comments The model shows the car of Niki Lauda, January 25th 1976, in Brazil where he made 1st.

nearsightedjohn Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Very nice job! One of the better looking ‘big air box’ F1 cars of the early 70’s. I love the classic late ‘60’s thru ‘80 F1 cars and appreciate that so many have been tooled as 1/20 kits. Also nice to hear that this Hasegawa kit went together ok. I’ve only built Tamiya and Ebbro kits from my stash so far and have been holding off on the Hasegawa 312T I bought years ago due to their crazy value these days on eBay ($200 -$300 USD!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F1Fan Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 What a superb model, definitely on my list to build after my Mclaren. How was the Hasegawa Kit compared to the Quality and fit of a Tamiya kit. Having never built Hasegawa it is all new to me. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only some minor fit issues from upper to lower body. Look into the WIP link I posted in the original post. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
