Tamiya 1/12 Ferrari 312 T4 Gilles Villeneuve

Hi everyone, new to the forum. I'm building the same kit at the moment and this is about where I am up to with it:-




You're making a great job of yours, very impressed with the detailing. I have been waiting for the studio 27 turned velocity stacks that I see you have - mine just arrived today. The walls of the kit items seem too thick to me as you can see in the photos

Regards

Beautiful work and detailing all around, superb job!!!

Nice job! I like the way the metallic parts look a little 'aged'. Can anyone help me with this photo? I am trying to figure out where the wire goes.

Very impressive Work You have done both

Looks like you have been busy! Your work looks great. How do the Revell models compare to the Tamiya? I see they have a nice silver Audi LeMans car i wouldn't mind tackling! It might be hard to go back to doing 1/24 scale though after building this 1/12 scale! Your Honda looks good by the way - I almost bought that one instead of the Ferrari 312 T4. Thanks for sharing your photos.

These are some more photos of work i just did. I thought these may help others who want to add additional detail to the model, beyond what the model gives you. I had to modify the wiring and hoses at the front after building this because the nose piece wouldn't fit! Doh! I scratch built the rear hydraulic harness. I have to modify some stuff to fit it in though. I added the diagonal support arm for the radiator (made out of a paperclip!). I had to cut away a portion of the body shell to allow it to fit around the arm.

I also had to build this center piece for the front:
