Well with plenty of stress at work, it was more difficult to find time for my favorite hobby. This is a build I achieved during the last days of 2014. Basically I wanted to represent Gilles Villeneuve driving its Ferrari 126CK with the broken nose on the wet...another great time of Gilles
This can be seen on youtube without any problem. I used the Fujimi kit and their PE set as a base and had to modify the wheels (Acustion + elements of a Ferrari 312T3 Tamiya rims + MFH tires) and I scratch built the front section, based on the MFH kit I still have. The front wing is made in a styrene sheet, that I heated to give the wrecked form. Not easy, I must say...
Still I want to do a circuit section and represent the wet track, this is also far from being easy. I haven't seen anything realistic on the web, but maybe I haven't search at the right places. Any idea how to do it ?
Just to complete, the figure is the usual El Oso beltless pilot with nice decals from our friend James.
I hope you will like it
. And very "nice" Fujimi-Gap between Sidepod halves.
