Started this one: the Ferrari 500 F2 of Alberto Ascari during the 1952 Championship.
Again I will use the WCT52 superkit from Tameo (300+ parts) as a base and will add more details to it. Of course it will be displayed on a little base too.


The spoke wheels.


White Metal parts get their Metal Etch primer en Grey Primer.


Chassis weathered first stage.


Oil paint treatment on first parts.





Pink primer as a base for the Rosso Corsa 300 from DS Colors.

Next: decals :-)

Thank you for your kind words FYI.
Working on a custom built right now. When that is finished I'll return to the Tipo 159 and post in progress pictures again.
Thanks, Hugo

Very nice and clean built! Weathering is so realistic. Thanks for sharing it specially while this forum is really quite nowadays. Please share more photos if you have got other projects as well.

Thank you x.man :-)
I like to create a certain atmosphere to give life to the model.

Just some quick snap-shots. I call this one ready.













Hugo Luyten Posted - 08/23/2019 : 06:47:53
You're absolutely right x.man. It would be a shame to cover up all those details. Only the central body part will be installed, all the others will be put alongside the model ;-)
Thanks,
Hugo

It looks so good like that - it would almost be a shame to cover it up with bodywork :o)

Almost getting there...









Thank you for looking.
Hugo Luyten Posted - 08/19/2019 : 13:02:04
Started with extra detailling...





Hugo Luyten Posted - 08/17/2019 : 07:36:58
Some work on the chassis...

Hugo Luyten Posted - 08/16/2019 : 00:13:11
Thanks x.man.

Not really. I try to build my own collection, but models go to private collectors. The few I have are stocked secure and dust-free until I have a decent showcase ;-)

You must have an incredible collection, Hugo! Do you have all your finished masterpieces on display?
