Alex,

Great model! i could have sworn that the car was real from some pictures. i think you could have also stopped at just the rolling chassis and it would have still looked amazing!

This car was the first ferrari in 1946 to come out of the factory. most forget that, but this model is the best representation i have ever seen of the MM

Thanks for sharing a great model and pictures!

Alex,
What a wonderfully impressive build of that little boat.
Have bookmarked it for future reference.

Cheers and Happy Collecting,
Steve

One of the best build reports ever! Every shot is razor sharp, and every step is clear and understandable.

And one of the best models of one of the truly great cars. You are my hero, Alex.

BTW, I've had good luck using .020 styrene rivets from Tichy Trains. I get them at my local model RR store. They're also available in larger sizes. The shafts fit nicely into holes drilled with a #76 bit.
