F50GT1 Complete ***Pic Heavy!***

A BBR 1:43 resin and multi-media kit. Really enjoyed the build, the kit quality is great. Need to straighten the rear wing a bit, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it. Let me know what you think...











Next, the Rossi V5 Honda from 2002... some thing a little different!!!

Great stuff! 1/43 kits are fiddly little things to build, but yours looks absolutely fab.

Did the kit have a lot of photo etched parts?

Very cool. That little prancing horse must have been teensy-weensy in 43 scale??

Thanks all for the kind comments. The kit was a joy to build, I recommend everyone try a 1:43 at some point, most of them aren't as intemidating as you might think. Provence Moulage are great for first timers. The build is very different from a plastic kit, but I think just as much fun. All you need is a steady hand, a good set of tweazers and a magnifying glass!

If you want to see what's available, I suggest you go here . This isn't an advert, but they are great guys and it's a good web site. check out the online issues of Four Small Wheels for some great tech-tips.

Excellent quality! How did you managed to attach those window P.E parts? I messed up mine.
