Ferrari 312 T4 Jody's Italian ride
I started this more than 4 years ago, and didn't start a WIP because the sites were inundated with 312 T4 builds at the time and I didn't want to have to keep up..lol..anyways...
I bare metal foiled the cockpit and fuel tank, added extra wires and plumbing to the engine and transmission, battery cables and hold downs, electrical to the gauges and controls, kill switch, brake lines to the front and rear, buttons to the windscreen, ...and on and on...
I chose Duplicolor Acrylic lacquer spray #CBVW2037 Tornado red for the body paint, and some coats of Duplicolor Acrylic lacquer spray #CDAL1695 clear gloss to shine it up. Then lots of 1000g sanding followed by Novus polish #3 and Meguiar's Ultimate Polish to finish.
The side skirts were sprayed with Alclad #116 semi gloss aluminum and the skid strips picked out with a Krylon silver leaf pen..the front and rear wings were stripped of the chrome and shot with Alclad #107 chrome over gloss black, and then coated with Alclad #600 Aqua Gloss Clear. All engine parts, skirts, and some body panel areas were washed with a variety of solutions..Tamiya panel washes and custom mixed grime washes...I don't like a clean engine..lol
The decals came from Michael at Indycals, although I did mask and spray the white with Duplicolor #CBHY Nordic White before decals went down to avoid any opacity problems.
This is a close representation of Jody Scheckter's winning ride at Monza, but by no means perfect...
On to the pictures...
Any and all hairs you may see on the model were lovingly supplied by this girl
Thanks Zig
This build was in the box more than on the bench over the course of 4+ years and I'm happy with the results.
Thanks for looking in...happy building !
All questions, comments and critiques are welcome.
Cheers
