Hi,

I'm starting a new build.
This is a Model Factory Hiro kit of the 1972 Spa Ferrari 312PB.
Few paint job is already done.
Paint is from Zero Paint and clear coat is also ZP 2K. I used Ferrari Red, Pure White, Giallo Modena and semi gloss black.
Metallic paints are mainly from Alclad.

Beautiful work! Where did you get the small labelling for the instruments on the dash: "lights, fuel pump, on, off" etc.

Are they decals that came with the kit?

Hi,

Sorry for late reply.
Tags or labels are from a F1Specialties decal sheet, edited and offered by Wim from Bestbalsakits and now sold at the shop.
These are not inside the MFH kit.

Hi guys,

And thanks a lot for your comments!

For Ferrariman81, Bestbalsakit is trustworthy to deal with: you can go for it.

Very small update on the right side pontoon tank:
White metal part is replaced by an aluminum turned part by myself and a new RBM anodized AN fitting is used.
