Very nice stuff as always! Which of the Finemolds patterns did you use for the radiators? NOs 10 or 12? |

Whoa, I will never be at a lack of surprises with the stuff you do. That rad is something else. I have never seen one done so realistically before. What a great and fun wip.

Re: 1/12 Ferrari 312 T
Hi Rob,
you're doing an awesome work on your T, really great! Then to my question: are you going to superdetail the oil tank too? If you will could you please let us see the reference pictures you have, since it's so difficult to find any of that 312T zone? Thanks and keep up the good work!!!! Gabriele |

Re: 1/12 Ferrari 312 T
OK, more updates
I spent a bit of time last night on the ignition system The kit distributor and ignition leads once again look OK but I just had to make some improvements. I have this product called Plasti-dip which I have shown before but here is a picture of the package it comes in I added a piece of larger diameter wire to the end of each lead then found some old yellow decal paper and used that for the identification tabs. Then I take each lead and dip it in the Plasti-dip (this stuff dries out quite quickly so I keep it in a smaller glass jar) Each time you dip it in the mix, it adds a layer of plastic so you can get the correct thickness required. Once done you trim the end of the lead to remove the excess plastic and insert it into the correct position on the distributor. I made sure I had the correct firing order according to a book I have called the Anatomy & Development of the Formula One Racing Car from 1975. More updates soon!

Re: 1/12 Ferrari 312 T
This is insane work, Rob! Awesome eye for detail.
I'm looking forward to the re-release of this kit and hope to pick one up but my build will be mostly out of the box... certainly nothing near this level. I'm currently building the 1/12th Honda RA273 as a kit review for a magazine and I'm really enjoying it even though it has to be a total OOB build. Unfortunately, no WIP or pics can be posted until that issue is printed.

Re: 1/12 Ferrari 312 T
rob, whatever you do for a living, you're in the wrong business. just go ahead and design/build 1:1 race cars.
