MFH 1/12 Ferrari 315S/335S
Re: MFH 1/12 Ferrari 315S/335S
The lights look fantastic. When i do paint over paint like that I try to use acrylic. That way if the masking is not perfect i can clean up with a wet Q-tip and the water will not harm the body color.
Nevertheless, it looks perfect.

Joe.

Re: MFH 1/12 Ferrari 315S/335S
time for a little update
built the frame work that holds the spare tire in the trunk. this gets inserted into the body before it is mounted to the chassis, tricky to do, it fell apart on me the first attempt.
Some of the trunk hardware
ready to bring these two together
It all went together pretty well. I had to do it twice because one of the hood latches hit the side of the engine bay and didn't let the body go on all the way. it is a little tense when mounting the body because you have to man handle it a little, which makes me nervous that I'll brake something but it all went well. this thing weighs a lot!
thanks for watching.

Thanks for the kind comments.
I used decanted TS-49 for this model.
The wheels aren't to bad, but they each take a few hours to assemble.

Re: MFH 1/12 Ferrari 315S/335S
Last post for me in this thread. I will be posting some photos in a Completed Project post shortly.
Finished up the dash board and the windshield. It all went together well.
This little windshield has a lot of kittle parts but went together fairly well. After I got it mounted and tried to install the larger wind screen I realized that I had mounted it to far forward so the main wind shield hit it and therefore could not be mounted. after contemplating what to do about it for a while, I decided that it couldn't be taken off and moved because there were holes drilled in the dash to mount it I tried to bent it. luckily for me it bent on the joints that it is intended to bend instead of just crushing and everything fit together ok.
The steering wheel went together fine. the photo etched center is a bit thin around the rim so it doesn't really show on the outside. I thought if I sanded the wood rim all the way to the metal it would look to thin.
I thought about making a real wood one but I didn't want to mess it up so I didn't. the kit came with two rims, 3 spoke that this car has and a 4 spoke, I may experiment with the other rim and see how it goes.
I really enjoyed this kit! very challenging and I'm very happy with the outcome. This car has the classic lines of the 50's Ferrari cars that I have always loved.
