Is he back Ian ? Ha ha.

 

[John]

So did you pick this up again?

I did a little bit more, I’m stuck with putting the pipes on, someone said put them in warm water but that’s not really helped, it’s still on my desk so not back in the box yet

If you mean the fuel pipes John, I find a hairdryer helps to soften then enough (I'm just in the same process on a Tamiya 1/12 Lotus 78)

 

[John]

I can’t believe I started this so long ago, just did a bit at a time not worth updating this thread.

finally finished brought it in to work to put in one of the display cabinets

 

[minitnkr]

Absolutely stunning.

 

[Stefee]

Absolutely outstanding build.

 

[PaulTRose]

That is a thing of beauty

From when F1 was interesting

 

[scottie3158]

Cracking result of an iconic vehicle.

 

[flyjoe180]

[Jim R]

That is a superb model. Looks stunning.

I wouldn't buy another Porcher kit, for that sort of money, it should build itself. The instructions are quite poor, and most of the screws didn't fit properly.

Gorgeous job john , such an iconic car and scheme , as said from when F1 was interesting and varied. Its a particular fave of mine as I had the Corgi version of this car as a kid , driven by emerson fittipaldi , and it was my absolute favourite toy car ( actually it might be up in the loft still , I remember keeping it and passing it on to my son when he was a nipper !)
