MP4/20 Conversion - Brawn GP Part 3

Tamiya Light Putty was used and this stuff is amazing!

I can apply putty within minutes of each layer. I'm going to create a video using it to show how hard it gets in a matter of minutes. It is also the smoothest putty I have used.
Here you can see how I am building up the sidepods.

Ferrari 312T2

Information: Plastic - full detail
Paint: Tamiya acrylics / Krylon semi flat black / Ferrari Zero Paints / Vallejo Model Air acrylics
Aftermarket Parts: Hobby Design photo etched detail set / Bare Metal Foil / 3r Party bolt heads / Insect Pin Heads

Every bolt head was removed, drilled out and replaced with a new either metal or plastic bolt head. Insect pins were used in some areas as well. The photoetched detail set is nice and a great value for the price.

I' starting with the engine and making it a kit in itself before moving on to the rest of the kit.

Ferrari 641/2 France Part 7

Here is the kit 98% complete.

Missing the windscreen and mirror faces.

Also, you can see that one of my big helpers lost the right front wings endplate.  I'll end up making a new one out of brass if we dont find it.  Not a big deal.

Decals were covered in DuPont 2 part clear and polished out.
