Ferrari 250LM, Airfix, 1/32

Post by mattbacon »

A hangover from the "Spirit of '76" SMW build that didn't quite make it to the finish line in time. For what's basically a slot car, it's not bad at all...

The "wire" wheels have been upgraded with some Scaleproduction resin wire centres that I had lying around; seat belts from blue masking tape...

best,

Wow, for what is "basically a slot car" you've made a great job of that, Matt and those aftermarket wires really look good.

Dam it Matt yet another item of mine that's getting pushed down the build order. Which Ferrari red did you use?

Looks good, Matt.
James, think about a coat of white under those big number decals.
