Airfix 1/32 Maserati Indy

Post by JamesPerrin »

A DNF from a recent Auto GB. WIP can be found here https://uamf.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f=404&t=18520; and here on my workbench https://uamf.org.uk/viewtopic.php?p=398358#p398358;

Final details added new side window dividers after the chunky kit ones were sanded off. Replacement wipers from strip and wire, I made these twice as the first set from references were for a left hand drive model! New exhausts from some aluminium tubing that I polished up.

Phew, it's taken some time and there has been a bit of back and forth. I'm really happy with the colour, not sure if it's standard but screams supercar. I do wish I had put better metal finish down though before the candy coat, in the flesh there is a lot of variation. It's a big car almost one and half times the length of my other car models. No apologies for the glut of photos, I wanted to make sure I got it recorded.

That is a beauty. Will you be bringing it to the civilians display?

All the best

That looks fantastic, James. An eye-catching build of a stunning original. Just a shame we're not likely to see it again in the Vintage Classics range... The Civilian car park is looking brighter by the day...

best,

I've just had a look at this on your WW thread, James and can now really appreciate it with the extra photos. This is a great build and one for the front of the cabinets me thinks! I'm sure it will look great on the CBK tables.

Beautiful work James.

That green really suits that car.

Well done.
