Re: MARLINS here and there...

I don't get it. Is tobacco sponsorship banned or not? Surely it's a simple issue. I personally don't care, been exposed to tobacco logo's for over 20 years and I have never and will never ever touch a cigarette. I suppose it's a bit like the government's stance on the issue. If tobacco is so bad, wh...

Re: Ferrari 412T1B Protar 1/24 completed

Been watching your WIP. Impressive work, it's great to see the determination people have to realise a car from a kit no matter how poor the kit is. Particularily like the driver figure. Like the display with the other cars. what paint did you use on your F2007, looks very good.

Re: Which airbrushes should i buy?

Hell yeah, why not buy a new brush for every single colour you are gonna spray? Seriously, as long as you clean thoroughly between colours 1 brush is fine. Change the needles, 0.5 for good coverage and and 0.3 for detail. It's pretty easy to change them and certainly better than buying multiple brus...

Re: Ferrari F2007 paint colours.

Thanks, that's given me a few ideas to look at. I'll maybe do a bit of trial spraying before I commit.

Ferrari F2007 paint colours.

Ok, so I know this will have been covered before but I am getting prepped up ready to start painting my Fujimi F2007, I have the Zero silver and red paint but just wondered if this is the way to go for the deep metallic red that was carried that year. Does it spray ok, anything I should know? Thanks...

Re: Jordan 191

Congratulations on the build. I think that in some ways this WIP has answered the debate that goes on about the difference between a MFH kit, for example, and a basic plastic kit. This work of art started out as the basic Tamiya kit that probably most of us own and could build into a very reasonable...

Re: CHRIS AMON FERRARI 312

Just had a look through some reference books and whilst I have no clear shots of Amon's car I have a shot of Derek Bell driving the third Ferrari in 68 and i can see what appears to be blue shoulder straps. Clear shots show shoulder straps in 69 but none in 67 so 68 must have been the transitional y...

Re: Williams FW13B - Mansell version

That's so weird. Have been reading the comments on the FW13B recentely and thought today that I'd put a post on about the Mansell version and when I log on someone has already beat me to it. And with better pictures! It's definetly do-able, and it does look better than with the yellow. Think it may ...
