Good morning from France, The tyraps are from MFH, black or white and in different size. Pascal Just a question about the tyraps, Pascal. Would they have had them in the days of the 312B? And if you scale them up, aren't they a little large? Just curious because you are such a master builder. I did the Tamiya version of this car two years ago and loved the build!

Good evening, THANKS! Yes, Ty-raps were already used in 1970 Patrick. They are used since 1958 on aircrafts, and I can tell you they are still heavily used in aircrafts!! I didn't like that much to have the white circles clear coated: too shiny for them. It was fun to do though... … and to undo! Once again pink undercoat over the sanded areas. Then Rosso Corsa. Do and undo…🙄 Although used to Gravity products since their creation, I am always amazed by the grip and the solidity of the paint and the primer, not to mention how so thin they are: a joy! The clear coat should be on soon. Pascal

Good evening, Ok. So now the clear coat is done: it dries quietly in the boxes. Next soon. Pascal

Good evening, As expected, the holes for the rivets to be set are « re-opened » due to the several coats of primer, paint and clear coat and a soft cloth is passed over to erase fingerprints. I'll maybe start the decals of the "Bombinette" tomorrow. Pascal

Oh how could you, Pascal? I mean really? McLaren instruction sheet under that beautiful Ferrari red? LOL!
Beautiful paint job!

HA! Subliminal message: 1970 Ferrari tops 1972 McLaren

Buongiorno a tutti, It’s the return for the 312B… You still have to get back to it one day! Deco day: decals are applied to the hull and muzzle. The upper part will be decorated after cutting the windshield which will require some tests and manipulations. The hull will also be extensively handled, but the delicate adjustments have already been made. It will also be very heavy once the main elements are installed; decorating it at the end would not have been wise or comfortable. More soon! Pascal

Pascal, It's great to see your build progressing once again. The decals applied over your perfect gloss finish look simply amazing.

I’m sure glad to see you back at it again 😁 It is definitely a stunning subject. I see your doing the version that raced at Monza. Looking forward to seeing some more progress.
