WIP Ferrari F2003GA 1/24 Revell
This is not a real time build report, and it's not going to be a master piece either: I am a slow and poorly skilled modeler! I started it some two years ago, but was held up again and again, but now I hope to be able to finish it in the next few days.
Here we go: I start with the body work which consists of quite a number of pieces, although the hood will not be detachable in the end.

many months passed, and in the meantime I was working hard on my Ph.D. while spending my spare time on a test case: in order to learn spray painting, I built the Sauber C22 1/24 Revell (http://www.f1m.com/classic/index.php?na ... 8151ec5673), which turned out quite satisfying to me. This gave me a lot of confidence, so I started filling and sanding the body, and gave it a first few layers of primer. As you see, not only my filling/sanding is insufficient, the primer also brings up strange lines in the mould that I didn’t see before.

after letting the primer thoroughly dry for - roughly 1.5 years.... - I finally managed to continue! Another filling sanding session, and cutting holes in the sidepods where the grills are going to be, and I am prepaed for the next layers of primer. Note the irregularly shaped almost horizontal white line on the cockpit side close to the radiator opening: the putty solvent had softened the plastic, and I started to work on it before it had dried completely. The body was slightly warped, which you still can see after painting when you look closely (pics to come soon). The price of impatience!
