Joining in the 1/43 scale mania!

This car is one of my favorites and will prolly never be done in 1/24 scale so I decided to get this kit. :naughty:

Made by Provence Moulage, it's very nice quality.

Includes two sets of clear parts, lots of etch, alum. rims, and jewel like pieces for headlights and tail lights.

Supercool choice of subject!

Although it 's no 1/24th I ll still be following this with great attention, as I think smaller = more difficult. and hey, difficulty is not a problem for you, is it !

Now what colour are you planning?

Seems to be a great looking kit.

Good looking kit. P/E inner door panels - nice.

Yes! I was hoping someone would start a progress thread on this kit. I love this car. 1:43 scares me (seems too small), but I am going to have to get this kit. I can't wait to see this one built.

Brian, if you don't mind my asking, where did you order the kit from? I've checked around a few places, but no one seems to have one in stock.

Ill be keeping an eye on this project. It sounds intresting.

Nice, PM kits seem to have really upped their game in the last 18 months. This makes me want mine even faster! What color are you planning on doing it?

I like it in pearl yellow.

Very nice kit. I'd love to do this car as it has been a favorite of mine. Too bad its 50$ Keep the updates coming.

Thanks for sharing this kit to us! Just one little note: this photoetch is very hard to cut!!! Good luck and keep us posted!

Cool. Thanks for the link. Just order one for me. It'll be my first resin kit and 1:43 kit. Pearl yellow will look great on the car.

Hi Veyron,

The website is very good, lots lots of tentation :uhoh:

but, i've never did a model on that scale (1:43) is it harder or easier than the 1:24 ?

Tanx.

It seems the same, just have to be careful with paint thickness as panel lines and other details are small. Definitely a job for the airbrush.

Other than that, use the same basic rules of modeling. :smile:

Thanksfully i asked as i'm only able to work with spray can these days, i'll have to learn airbrush :disappoin

Tanx for the advice.

Ps : l'm looking every hours after the miura 400 update :)

You can do 1:43 with a rattle can, it just takes practice! If the panel lines look to thin, open them up with a scribber. They'll go back to scale as youput the paint on. Airbrush is best though...

The Zonta is such a beautiful and fast car. I’m also a great fan of it.
Although this is not a 1/24 thread I will fallow it with much interest.

The zonda is a wonderfull car, and the kit looks awesome (PE door panels ?).
I'm sure it will be very nice in yellow.

So many projects...so little time! :screwy:

Number one lesson in building resin kits is none of the parts are precision fit so you must prefit everything.

Had to remove a lot of material from the bottom of the dash and transmission tunnel to get the dash in properly.

In building these kits, if there are any holes that a part is suppose to fit in you must chack that fit and drill the hole to the correct size. Drilling it oversize is a good idea because some of the hole will be filled by paint.

So here it is with wings, chassis, dash, seats, roll bars fitted and panel lines deepened.
