1:43 Tron Ferrari F 500

I started this a couple of month’s ago, but now it is my focus. So I will start a wip.

The kit is a metal kit, and I have done metal before, though not in 1:43. My new mantra is use it or lose it. Photo etech is hard- thicker than usual, so cutting it out is hard. Scissors nor knive do not cut it. I am using the small cut disks on my Dremel Stylus. That new Dremel Stylus is ideal for this kind of work, with its slow speeds. I will now be frequently updating progress.

That looks very interesting.

Disaster! I had glued the seat in to the rear center section.

but I got it just a few mil to far back and the seat wouldn’t clear the fuel tank when I tried to fit body over the frame! I used CA softener to remove the seat, and it also took off the dedion rear axle. That had been a real challenge installing, so this is about three steps back!

Ouch! I hate it when that happens. Looks like it’ll be a gem once it’s all done though.
