HubertB Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 And another iconic car ... although I still prefer the GT-40 and even the 908. And then it was replaced by the 512, which, although red, was always in the shadow of the 917. Looking forward to your build, Mark Hubert 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I'm not much of a car bum and don't care a bit about more modern Ferraris, but this is a true beauty with all the curves in the right place. I will buckle in and follow your build. Cheers Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you planning on using Archer rivets? Keep 'em comin Thanks Peter I clean them up with sand paper first with 600 and i stop with 1500 Best is to where gloves or your hands turn black from the dust and you leave fingerprints behind. still needs primer so the small scratches will go away For the rivets i will use resin from masterclub the are in the mail to me also i have metal rivets in difrent sizes and forms that will be a lot off holes to make but it will look beter that way.
