Pascal GARATHi Mates,
The Ferrari 312F1 is now finished, the next one is the beautiful 1968 McLaren M7A.
The kit is from MFH, 1/20, paint from Gravity Colors, few accessories and a bit of scratched parts as usual😉
I hope you will enjoy this WIP even if I put too much pictures.

I'm watching this too, because I love Pascal's work.
I remember at Monza 2001, Mika broke down on the last lap at the first corner in his M-team car, and everyone there went manic, especially the tifosi. I also like Ferrari having competition, so the M-team are important to F1 as well. Without competition there's no racing and moments like that, so forza M-M-M... M-team!😉

I thought Pascal had posted a picture of the real suspension damper, it took a second or two to sink in... I can be a bit slow sometimes🤔 it's this kind of attention to detail that makes Pascal's work building so interesting to watch and his models so great to look at. This model is of your usual standard Pascal, beautiful!!!😎
