Hello chaps.
For my part I took a break from single seaters but had a right result last week.
Bought a kit on evil bay of one particular Ferrari F1 and there was another one in the box that I always wanted in good nick.
More on that stroke of luck another time.
In the meantime I have been catching up on something I always wanted to do after going to Daytona in 2015 to 2017.
IMSA and other BMWs of that time.
Now the Z4s are a cheat. They are cheapo remote control toys. The last few Fujimi kits out there are silly expensive and hard to find.
Not full on kits but they will do. The GTLM had a bit of rudimentary work done on it and ain't spot on but passable.
The M6s are Nunu kits and they can be a pain. Poly cement can sometimes not do the do and by the second kit I was putting it together
in a different order to the instructions. You ever do one of these. Build the roll cage into the model rather than build the whole thing and try to drop it in. Honestly. And popping the body onto the rest of it reminds me of the wrestling matches I had with the Fujimi Ford GT40!
The third party decals are not always of a standard that I have become used to from this forum's regular sources.
Building is fun for the most part but I still have those moments of frustration when something doesn't do what it should.
But it has kept me busy through what I hope will be the last dregs of this current lock down.
Hope you are all well and guess we will all be tuned in to the Sebring race. About time we had something to watch!
