Ebay gluebomb restoration project. Stripped the built parts down and cleaned them up.The beginnings of paint up. So much more do. But fun bit next, painting metallics by hand, and weathering it.

Just started to block in the aluminium tub colours, only added a watered down acrylic brown/black wash. Now I wait for it to dry, then ink wash, aluminium layer, then varnish, then another light brown wash.

First ink wash, just to put some life into the aluminium. I'll dry brush another metallic layer over this, then varnish, the do some more washes. Not a quick process, mainly due to drying times, but it looks really good.

That's it for today. Still very early stage, second ink wash. It will become more subdued as I continue with layering the aluminium. This is an acceptable beginning though.

Taking a seat I am interested in how you strip it down I bought a few glue booms myself and not sure how to get the glue of

That's it for today, and for now on this project. I've lost inspiration and desire to work on it, so back in the box, until I feel inspired to do it again. Just not feeling it, and I don't want to muck it up. Added a varnish layer, fitted the foot pedals and fixed the hole in the tub wheel bay cover.

Back to the big Ferrari. The cool thing about 70s Tamiya kits, is they gave you buildable tools. It's a screwdriver and wheel nut wrench. Nice.

Not a lot happening at the moment, I'm doing a lot of sanding, glueing small parts, changing bolt heads on the rear of the gearbox and brakes, as these will be seen. I'll add and swap out bolts on the black crossmember, suspension brace, as its also quite noticable. Also drilled holes in the e haust brackets, for the retention springs, Just a quick dry fit too. Even unpainted the engine is an impressive piece of hand-built model engineering from Tamiya.

Scratch built the rear brake air intake cooling scoop bracket. Mad? Me? Probably 😂 there is no line down the middle, it's the crappy silver plastic. It makes dark marks appear at joins and sprue attachment points. I'll putty over the intake, then paint it to look like the clear fibreglass, suitably weathered, with a piece of tape to lesson the amount of air reaching the brakes, just like on the real thing. Exciting things ahead 😉

That's it for today, just blocked in some colour, weathering and extra details tomorrow.

![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
Weeeell, that's all for today. I'm knackered. Pretty good progress, I've almost finished the 312T's Transverse gearbox, added the plumbing, detail and weathering paint, painted the brake airscoops, added nuts, and painted the suspension crossbeam. Only the anti-roll bar and a bracket still to fit. Bloody good fun that was.
8 February 2023, 19:14
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
As always, doesn't look like I've done anything at all today. Finished off the anti-roll bar and brackets, made a start on the left hand side suspension lower arm, swapped nuts out for better ones, wheel mount, drive shaft and shock absorber, also made a start on the rear wing mounting bracket and battery holder.

Definitely pulling up a chair to watch this one come along. 🙂 Looks great!
9 February 2023, 17:55
![](/profiles/img/23643-320-s.jpg)
Not a huge update, as I've had a few days away from modelling. Finished the coil springs on both sides and the right upright and drive shaft. Haven't got to finishing the anti-roll bar yet, as I'm changing the support rods for thinner wire, so it looks more in scale. More soon.

Back to working on the Tamiya 1/12 1975 Ferrari 312T. Today was just to get reacquainted with the kit, remember where I was, what I had planned, and where I'm going. Tested the fit of the rear wheels and tyres, everything is just friction fitted so far, a long way to go yet. That's how good Tamiya kits are, even forty eight year old kits fit together so well. Work will continue tomorrow with the rear anti-roll bar system, as im making the connecting rods more in scale. This is going to look awesome finished.

As usual not a lot new to see. With one thing or another I've been busy with other things recently. But back to the rear of the 312T. Finished the gearbox, and rear suspension, anti-roll bar adjusters. Replaced the kit parts with pins, for a finer appearance.

Sloooow work continues on the 312T. The Ferrari Tipo 015, 2,992 cc (182.6 cu in), flat 12, naturally aspirated, engine is a mini kit in itself. Its going to be a complicated, Spaghetti wiring job, there's twelve wires for the fuel injection and twelve wires for the electrical ignition system. Then all the water and assorted pump plumbing. but it's going to look very cool. I am going to add a few things here and there, and I've sourced some air funnel mesh guards. Also I'll be assembling the Octopuss exhaust system of twelve pipes too. Proper Italian plumbing nightmare, but it is a Ferrari lol 😆 all this is just dry fitted for now.

Mixed bag of modelling today, shook sticks at a few different kits. As winter is approaching, looks like I've got Ships and F1 cars in my future. I've been putting the Ferrari off for months as I worked through my Sci-Fi backlog, soo work will commence on the 1975 world championship winning F1 car, my birth year. Doing the bodywork air-intake mod, and scratch building the fibreglass valve covers, plus adding a lot of missing details, wiring and plumbing, swapping nuts n bolts, scratching the accelerator assembly, and spray painting the final bodywork for the first time... a lot to do, but it'll look very cool.

It has been a whole year since I touched the 1975 Ferrari 312T, omg 😲 finally put paint down on the main case of the Flat 12 engine. More soon.

Ferrari 312T Tipo 15 Flat 12 engine. Only made a tiny bit of progress today, first pump and hose. More weathering to come. Then fitting all the pipes, electrics, rear transverse gearbox and suspension, and the exhaust system, that all pretty much needs to be done at the same time.

After a health problem, I stopped modelling for a short time. I didn't want to continue the projects I had started because I wasn't in the mood for scratch modelling. I wanted to make a quick project - almost oob. Of course with a wooden propeller, because building one is just fun.
Working on two Pfalz D.IIIa (one as a triplane conversion) a long time ago was great fun and there was still a special kit waiting in my stash: a Limited Edition Dual Combo Pfalz D.III. No, I haven't forgotten the "a", this really is the forerunner of the D.IIIa. Eduard has re-released the D.IIIa kit often, but this Edition is from 2005 and was never released again. I hear some voices: Limited Editions are for collecting, not building. Never mind, I'm building the kit now!
I'm building the machine from the cover picture - and because there's a heart on it, I'm dedicating the build to my wife, who always supports me!
24 July, 19:34
![](/profiles/img/108061-170-s.jpg)
Excellent to see you Frank!! I can't wait to follow along with this. Which is sure to be another beautiful build. Any edition…Limited, or otherwise sounds like something to build to me!! But maybe I'm doing things wrong. Ha!!

Looks like an interesting project Frank. I must admit that I don't know much about WWI aircraft and your builds are often a lesson about the real machines as well as a lesson in modelling.
25 July, 06:38
![](/profiles/img/21997-347-s.jpg)
Thank you very much mates! Great to know that you are following 👍
Yeah Kyle, all kits can be build. But some collects rare kits as investment and hope to sell it later for higher prices. Once started the value goes near zero. But we have fun building them and that is invaluable!
@gorby You will see later that the Pfalz fighters are elegant planes!
25 July, 10:01
![](/profiles/img/108061-170-s.jpg)
Indeed. I take a great pleasure in opening up and building valuable kits. I would be a really horrible collector. Lol.
25 July, 10:51
![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
I have a few rare ones. But I'll gladly build them when the time comes. That's what kits are for!

A warm welcome to the show also for the new visitors!
I hope to have it ready for our next club meeting, so it will be a quick build (for my standards).
25 July, 19:20
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
Good to see you back at the bench. I consider the Pfalz DIII one of the most elegant WWI planes and have two in my stash too. So I won't miss this build.
Keep it coming.

I'm in, being Broplan fan too 👍 Would love to buy Eurolot's 42-200 variant.
The cockpit looks great 👍

Following. Never built a Broplan kit (or any other vacform for that matter), but they have some unique subjects. I suppose the entire interior is scratchbuild? Pretty impressive!

These images are 3-4 weeks old sorry. The model is basically completed (very close) today. I'll keep updating the pics here until they're up to date

Now that's a heroic act indeed! Considering the quality of the kit, this is an absolutely amazing result! I completely missed finishing it, but luckily I just happened to come across this project.
Bravo Chris! You have my deepest respect! 👏👏👏

Got going on this one. I know, I know, Top Gun plane, yawn. It's a birthday gift for my nephew. Quinta Studio goodies for the cockpit and ejector seats get us started. Really nice kit from academy!
