Ferrari F60 Italian GP Version Part 2

I have opened the rear cowling and applied Carbon Fiber decals to the transmission.

Brass was used to create the lower cowling around the rear suspension.

I'm going to build this curb side because of the modifications.

Next will be the newly created cameras on the nosecone.

Ferrari F60 Italian GP Version

Ferrari F60

Manufacturer: Tamiya

Information: Plastic
Paint: Tamiya lacquer / Tamiya acrylics / Krylon
Aftermarket Parts: Scratch building parts.

I'm going to modify the early version F60 into the late season Italian GP version.

This is going to include new exhaust outlets, Modified front and rear wings, and modified cameras on the front nose. The trick for the quick turn around is the Tamiya Light Cured Putty...I love this stuff.

Other than the modified parts it will be built with no extra details.

Carbon Fiber will be sprayed on using mesh and I'll use the kit seatbelt kit.

I was looking for this kit for a while now and found it for dirt cheap at a local store in town.

The kit was built with only minor additions as another build to just complete and improve my out of box building.

The kit is a standard Tamiya kit with nice details considering how old the original kit came out and the updated decals by Cartograph provide a very nice out of box kit.

The big test on this kit was to use lead foil for the belts and the result was very impressive.

Its easy to form and much better to work with over ribbon or cloth.

Its 98% complete with only mirrors and a few minor details to finish it off.

Enjoy.

There is much debate over the color of this car because in the pictures you will find from race to race it seems to look different in each picture depending on the light and angle.

I chose to use a metallic silver base followed by a mix of Tamiya Mica Red and Italian Red.

I'm pleased with the color and after the clearcoat the color should pop even more.

Overall a good kit with a few minor fit issues and some questionable details if you're looking for a specific race to represent (it looks to be modeled after the launch). But with a little putty and some new panel lines it's a great addition to the shelf. Clearcoat will go on this weekend with decals and final assembly by Monday.

Ferrari F187/88C

After many months of not being able to build because of work being done on my house I have been a building machine!

I'll be posting pictures over the next few days of all the kits I have completed in the past 6 weeks.

Many of the in progress kits are now complete and some new releases were started and completed. I am introducing my 6 year old son to model building and decided to focus on building Out Of Box for these builds to teach and show him the basics of building. It was a good reminder for me on the basics of building as well as an excellent chance to just gets some builds completed.
