First of all hello and welcome to this forum.

You're build is already looking very impressive. I like the details around the steering wheel.
And also the engine and especially the exhaust is looking great.

Will you be posting pictures of your other builds (the stock cars) ?

Beautifully but the racer terrible!

Nice work Mihec and welcome to AF. Great to see this lovely car being built.

All the best,
Bill

The build does look good so far! I'm not sure if you're saying the 312T3 or Gilles were terrible, either way I think you are misinformed.

Very nice work. I'm also building the same kit at this time.

Can I ask you what paint you used on the chassis parts to replicate the bare aluminum color?

Last time I were in past:

















T3 is going to finish line. Just a couple of turns.

I got one question, has enybody know what that circle in green could be?

Man, that engine is sensational! Got a few painting tips for us? Type of paint, application, etc? Just on the struts - I think you're better off using metal tubes, rather than shaving off the plastic springs and trying to reuse the semi-mangled shaft. I think you'll find it's almost easier, quicker and looks better to use metal tubes. Anyway, superb work, just fantastic. Congrats.
