Yes most certainly its in my top 5 favourites, Weirdly no.. I like to spray all my models metal silver as a primer as it gives it a realistic look whilst building just one of those personal habits ha ha Sam |

Nice work so far. I built one when I was in my teens and it is the only F1 car I have ever built. |

We modellers have some strange habits! Though most F1 cars after the early 70's wouldn't have had metal bodywork. It's probably a bit late on this build now but you can buy clear yellow pipe for the fuel lines which would raise an already excellent engine to another level. This is the 1/12 Ferrari T4 engine I built about a year ago. ![]() keep up the excellent work Sam. Cheers, Warren |

oh I see, I was sure the carbon fibre was not introduced until the 80's? from the photo's I have gathered such as this one: ![]() It looks to be aluminium?, and I will definitely be taking that tip into my next model! cheers Warren! |

Looking really good, very nice paint finish on the blue. Just a suggestion if you haven't thought about it yet, use a sanding stick on the tyres to get rid of the mould line, it also makes the tyres look used. Cheers, Warren |

Coming along very nicely, if you have a Pound shop pop in there and buy your own nail files, 6 for a quid. |
