That's all for now....

Looking good!

First of all hello and welcome to this forum.

You're build is already looking very impressive. I like the details around the steering wheel.
And also the engine and especially the exhaust is looking great.

Will you be posting pictures of your other builds (the stock cars) ?

Beautifully :) but the racer terrible! :uhoh:

Nice work Mihec and welcome to AF. Great to see this lovely car being built.

All the best,
Bill

The build does look good so far! I'm not sure if you're saying the 312T3 or Gilles were terrible, either way I think you are misinformed.:screwy: :2cents:

A little update for today:

Great work on the details.

Dude, That engine looks freakin real!!! Keep up the good work!!

Very nice work. I'm also building the same kit at this time.

Can I ask you what paint you used on the chassis parts to replicate the bare aluminum color?

Great work on the details.

Yessss :biggrin:

Very good work.

Here is a small update. Both wings are repainted.

T3 is going to finish line. Just a couple of turns.

I got one question, has enybody know what that circle in green could be?

Man, that engine is sensational! Got a few painting tips for us? Type of paint, application, etc? Just on the struts - I think you're better off using metal tubes, rather than shaving off the plastic springs and trying to reuse the semi-mangled shaft. I think you'll find it's almost easier, quicker and looks better to use metal tubes. Anyway, superb work, just fantastic. Congrats.

I don't know precisely what it is but it looks like it is a killswitch... it appears to be the right size for a hand to pull.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but I'm pretty sure you have fitted the rear wing backwards. Either that or I put mine on back to front :(

You're right, the upper element of the rear wing was assembled the wrong way around.

Otherwise a very nice build, especially the beautifully detailed engine.

I follow Tamiya instructions and if you see:

But I should check before I mounted it to the picture reference. I will leave it just the way it is, because I spent to much time to make it to look like this And decails, they are all broken so I won't risk.

Let say that is Italian lapsus:lol2:

The upper green circled piece is the pull handle for the fire extinguisher. It may also include a kill switch.

The lower green circle appears to be part of the fuel system, either a pump or a fuel filter. Hard to tell without a photo from the other side.

I agree, the lower wing element would be more correct if it were reversed.

Excellent work never-the-less!

My bad, it's the lower element that should be installed the other way around! :)

I`m a Chinese modeler.I`m making a 312T3 too.But the detail pic is not easy to find for me.Could you send you pic about 312t3 to me by mail.THX a lot~~~

MY mail：guohao_1015@sina.com

The first photo looks like it could be part of the oil system (breather???). The pipe going in to it look's on the large side for it to be a fuel line? Nice work buy the way....
