I also discovered some air bubbles on the side skirts so I opened and cleaned them. I put in some styrene roundels instead of using putty and glued with slow cianoacrylate. That’s all for the moment.

Hello to all, I started working on my Tecnomodel 575. Despite the body comes out of mold very clean, it needs to be finished, I sanded here and there and also milled the headilights recesses because I’ll replace the photoetched kit headlights with some clear lenses I found in my scrap box.

Hell let me see... another masterpiece i presume. Great work Alessandro. The detail level that you can put in your models leaves me with my mouth open.
Could you post some pictures of other model... the cutaway ferraris would be great.
For those who don't know alessandro is one of the top modelers in the world.
i've seen is models in tmmy (tamya model magazine international) and in the web and let me tell you... you should see to belive!!!

Hello,
Tecnomodel made the caliper as a photoetched parts to be bent onto the brake disc. I found in my scrap box some resin discs and I cut away the calipers, the photoetched ones will be glued on the resin parts. With a weapon burnisher I blackened the inner area of the brake discs and, once dried, I sanded off the burnisher excess.

Hi (and thank you for the comments). Since one year I’m experimenting the welding of white metal and photoetched parts on some 1/43 F1. For the rear diffuser so I used this technique. Once assembled I discovered that the diffuser was pointing towards the floor so I added a styrene strip to correct it. Then I sprayed the diffuser with black automotive laquer and after a couple of days covered it with BBR carbon decals.

After having sanded the rollcage components, which are perfect, I proceed welding the assembly. Then, I milled and sanded the welding excess and with dots of cyanoacrilate I glued on the rollcage the various photoetched stiffeners. I checked their positioning with the body installed and I was lucky in getting a fine result in one step only.
Have a nice weekend and, as always, thank you for the comments.
