Ferrari F2004M 1/43 60th Anniversary Group Build

Here it is. My Tameo 1/43 Ferrari F2004M Australian GP. Michael Schumacher.

This model was a number of firsts for me. First F1 car, first 1/43, first metal kit, first time using Finisher's paints. Given all of that, I'd say i'm pretty happy with the final result, even though it's not perfect. Definitely learned a few things not to do when/if I do another of these.

Paint is Finisher's Lumo Red and Pure White, covered in Finisher's Auto Clear, which is an amazing product.

The base represents the pit lane.

Anyways, here are the pics, enjoy.

Wow! Just WOW!

The detail in the cockpit is awesome, and the sweet sweet tyre sanding looks so real!

Great base too!

Congratulations on an amazingly cool model!

Small but totally awesome built. Great work of art there!:smokin:

Great build!!! and..we are talking about 1/43....that's really small!!!

Looking at the pictures it's actually hard to believe it's just a 1/43 model.

Well done!

Well seems i've been away for really a looooooooooooog time... You've got this finished!!!:eek: And..it's fabulous, really fabulous! You're a genius bhop! That's really something gorgeous for that kind of a "newbie" model. Hope to see more 1/43s from you!:worshippy

Bhop:
If it was 1/20 I'll give you one round of applause.
As it's 1/43 I'll give you... two rounds! LOL
Great to see this finished, nice to follow your WIP and see this result, I love all the detail you incorporate to this build. Good Job :thumbsup:
