After a bit of work last night and this evening; the spare wheel carrier has been giving me grief, it just wont stay together. Anyway, it is now and with a lick of paint on it. As soon as thats dry, it and the spare wheel get fixed to the rear of the car.
The kit comes with three Brooklands style filler caps, all the same size, one was reduced in height for the radiator. The fish-tail was cut off the exhaust.
[On this it comes off, on my Aston Martin I had to make one
]
The left front wheel is also causing problems, it has only two very thin mounting points and it broke off last night. I spent about an hour trying, then eventually getting it glued back on, but its still very weak. I'll have to get this model onto a display board asap.
I used decal strips over the bonnet belts and over the two fuel tank straps.
The white circles are plain white ones for going under aeroplane roundels. Both of these are very useful to have in the decal files.
And heeeeeeee........rrrrrrreeeeeeeeeesssssssss...........Tazio !
A bit of fiddling to get his arms into some order. His right hand reaches out to pump the fuel pressure pump, the steering wheel will be glued into his left hand when hes put in the car.
Tazio was known for his bright yellow jersey and blue trousers; I've used orange as an undercoat for the yellow. The problem will be putting the TN letters on the jersey. Must look in the decals again.
Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Its not just how good your painting is, its how good the touch-ups are too.
