Somebody is taking a full advantage of a lathe, I see.. well, well, well.
Fantastic update Gio!

:) thanks Alex!

That's some really nice machining. Looks great

figata vederti all´opera sulla formula ugnjio mitico. Ho tanta roba pure io (inclusa la 126c2 di gilles in 12..) e un giorno tentero il grande salto quando e se mai guariro dalla malattia dei miei bidoni gt.

great job there gio. so nice to see u on a formula 1 car.

Grazie vecio. Non sono mai stato appassionato diF1 e modellismo, anche se alcune sono passate ed andate: ora ho visto che una F1 "pre-carbon" è assimilabile a una moto naked come concetto.... mi sto divertendo oltre misura come non succedeva da tanto, e in più senza il fiato nel collo visto che non ho nulla da dimostrare ma solo da divertirmi. Ovviamente sono velocemente prolificate e ora ne ho un bel numero a magazzino... tutte '70s.....

Thanks a lot buddy

Penso che sia una buona idea gentiluomo - risponderò solo in italiano a questo andare avanti!

Scherzi a parte Gio, stai attento con il kit che colleziona, è un pendio scivoloso amico mio.

LOL, this new italian speaking AF is fun: we have now a "little Ideali" in Af too :), thanks guys. I was wondering Alex that your Italian is better than my english :) LOL!!!

Gio, shocks look good. Amazing how a detail like that improves the overall look of the assembly.

Hahah, I need a grow a mustache!
