#ItaliaGB #Revell #Ferrari 512TR update OK, new compressor in place - airbrushes (2 x H&S Ultra) not quite right (need new needles?) but managed to get coat of Blu Chiaro on heavily diluted with Mr Levelling Thinner. Few bits of crud to be removed then next coat(s) which might darken tone as well

Lol, I know a Hot Wheels set I will absolutely never ever for the life of me find on pegs when I see it. The GTOs. Probably the best two pack they've ever brained.

It's a lovely thing, good spec with alloys too (had auto which I presume most did when new) There is a tatty blue one locally too on private plate which has plastic wheel covers and lots of dings from the elderly driver presumably

So the kinda-sorta repair on the TIE has some colour on it, but I'm not close to happy with it. It's better than totally broken, but I still might try to make it look less like a blob. 🤔

Good news is new airbrush compressor is here and looks great. Bad news is I never thought to check hose connection, old Badger end has 1/4in but Fengda seems to have ‘standard’ 1/8in so now ordered a new hose. More waiting!

The De Tomaso Pantera is a brutal, unsophisticated bastard, but they are somehow much much cooler than a Ferrari, aren't they?

Build Fifteen will be AMT's '62 Corvette. I'm going back to 1989 with this one - purple paint, and the full bonkaroonie twin-supercharger engine setup, with some suitably outrè wheels too. Hey, like they say - go big or go home!

Been chasing air issues with airbrush for while - tried new fittings, pressure controls etc. Today when trying to refit things again it became clear what the issue is - outlet from tank has cracked (metal fatigue ?) - not easy to replace. New compressor ordered (to be fair old Badger was 15y old)

Livie is the daily driver round here. That means she gets a tad neglected in the washing and polishing departnent. I put that to rights on Tuesday and now I feel guilty as she scrubs up really quite well.

You know what - I'm calling this one done. Not the best Monogram kit I've ever built - the '91 ZR1 was better - but it looks the part (if you don't look too closely). Expect another Corvette for Build Fifteen, but more on that later.

Mask off! After a final matte coat, it is time to reveal the canopy and landing lights. Luckily, no ugly surprises here. Calling this done - I'll shoot some proper pictures this week. The first victim of #buildthestash completed! #histscalemodels

Tough day at the office. Engine misaligned, windscreen won't fit, and the intake fouls the underside of the clamshell hood. Had to disassemble about seven steps' worth of progress to get it even this far. Still, should pay off in the end.

The mystery package has arrived! So who guessed „abandoned Pripyat bumper cars“? 😂 And of course I had to get two because it would not be bumper cars if they did not bump into each other 😝

Amazing how touring cars for racing have changed, back then it was put some racing numbers on and get on the track.
