After some mock up of the body panels and putting the hood on, the velocity stacks would probably hit the clear hood scoop.

Wow!! The chassis detail with your weathering came out perfect. It just added so much depth that all those little details just pop now.
BTW, great balancing job on that bottle.

It’s been a couple of weeks since my last update . No worries I have been busy trying to get some work done, I got the body panels painted and cleared, need to decal and put more clear on. In the meantime I started the wheels. Very time consuming but satisfying when they start to come together. All you need to do is study the directions and take your time, it’s not that hard. I still need to finish this one because I have 3 more to do 🤣🤣🤣

Nice job on all.
What color primer are you using?
And finish color? Was the Ferrari red at that time different from Italian red?

Grey primer-Tamiya Ferrari has used different shades of red throughout there 70 plus years of racing, I used the one that was supposed to be used from the 50’s through the 70’s. Italian red is pretty generic, Alfa has a similar color but ever so slightly different.

Rosso Corsa looks great as does the gloss coat. As usual, you MFH guys build these wire wheels just like the real ones, and they really look the part.
