I am going to build a limited run of the newly released Minerva43 Ferrari 250TR winner Sebring 1958. I will be building 2 curbside, 2 with engine detail and 2 with a Phil Hill figure by Racing Dioramics.
These will be available exclusively from Miniwerks so contact Mike for details.
I will show the build process and review the kit here so stay tuned!
Here is a brief race history:

The first body is wet sanded and polished. The interior is also nearly complete...

At this stage [prior to wet sand and polishing the body] I dry fit the photo etch parts that require shaping to the body. So far they fit nicely.
The interior components are also cleaned up and dry fit prior to paint and assembly.

Screws are soldered in place for mounting the model to the display base and then the ride height is set to the chassis as it relates to the body and base. Minor tweaks can be made when the model is set on the base permanently.

this will be another masterpiece.
I recently did a pencil drawing of this car with the portrait of Peter Collins (picture is pretty lousy...)

Once the decals have fully dried I make a razor thin cut and press the decal into the panel line with a solvent. I prefer this to simply folding the decal into the joint.
Now the clear coat has been applied...the nose badge will be attached at the end for a more realistic presence. Of course I will do a wet sand to level the finish and a polish to soften the shine.
And just a quick comparison side by side with the Technomodel version, which is quite a bit smaller...I noticed this as soon as I started "Lucybelle II" .

Base color coats are now applied...
The decals are also applied and the wheels painted...
And the base is designed to remind one of the Sebring grid...
